  • Comment: Integrate OptiPNG for smaller PNG output

    I'm including two full screenshots of my desktop for comparison, so you won't think the aforementioned results are purely anecdotal. The shot from your program is 243KB and once recompressed it's only 163KB. There is no loss in visual quality, the results are identical. http://fastandfriendly.biz/Files/sf.net/2012-04-01%2013-19-11_gimp%27s%20compression%20full%20screen.png...

  • Comment: Integrate OptiPNG for smaller PNG output

    Just today I ran into to this inadequate compression issue. I was trying to upload one of my screenshots to the RockBox forum. The result was the image was too large at 284K, with a max of 275K, using the GIMP which has better PNG compression, I was able to compress it down to 190K and upload it.

  • Scrolling Programatically

    The CHM-based help in Lazarus uses this component. However pressing PG/Up or PG/Down doesn't scroll through a help entry automatically. How do you suggest I implement that? Do I need to send that PG/Down (VK_Next) keystroke to the the browser control or is there some built in command I can utilize?.

  • Android VirtualBox Image Incompatible or Corrupt

    Thanks xcod, I appreciate the tip. However, it would seem this is an extremely proprietary zip file with next to no compatibility. It neither works with 7-Zip, nor Windows 7's native decompression (see second attached screenshot). The author of this zip file should recompress it using a standards compliant zip compressor like 7-Zip, WinZip, or better still Windows...

  • Edit with GIMP missing from >GIF form...

    I'm not sure if this is specific to my system or not, so I'm very interested in what other users are experiencing. I assume it's a conflict between one or more graphical programs on my system. However, when I right click on a .PNG or .JPG, the second menu option is "Edit with GIMP", but when I right click on a .GIF that menu option is missing entirely. I checked the registry and the...

  • Preview window doesn't play automatically after rendering

    The preview window doesn't start playing automatically after rendering. I realize that the render time may be large and that you've set focus on the play button which is helpful for people who know to press their spacebars. How about adding a checkbox at the bottom of the preview options window that enables the video to start playing automatically. If checked, once the rendering has...

  • Comment: Installer displays compatility assistant on Windows 7 x64

    It also occurred to me that maybe you're just using an outdated version of NSIS to build your installers, but that seems like an unlikely reason for the message.

  • Installer displays compatility assistant on Windows 7 x64

    When I install most programs, I don't run in to the compatibility assistant. So it seems possible that components (video codec or runtimes perhaps) that are outdated and or otherwise completely incompatible with Windows 7 x64 are being installed. Here's the report from AppCrashView and occurred on both 0.63.02 and 0.63.04 so it's safe to say the bug is both reproducible and not new: Version=1.

  • Insecure version of CURL bundled

    Secunia PSI, a well recognized program that identifies insecure programs, lists the copy of curl.exe you're bundling as insecure. You're shipping 7.21.7.0 and the current/secure version is 7.24 patching one or more vulnerabilities. Description of vulnerability: http://secunia.com/advisories/47690/.
