Right, I've been on the PNG and libpng sites and have been reading a bit about them; I learned about the chunks stuff etc. After writing a little test program, I noticed that the comment chunk can only contain 2kb of data.

I encoded the gif as base64, put it in the comment chunk and tried to decode it only to notice that part of it was missing. So, CookieRevised do you know why there is a 2kb limit on that chunk ? Has it been preset like this or is it most likely because of the way ImageMagick works ?
There is no limit that I know of (well at least not 2Kb), but then again, it has been a long while since I did something with PNG's and JPEG's. But I'm almost certain that it is ImageMagick.

Honestly, I first want to see if it's possible at all before progressing to making it nice and the right way. Because if not I'm going to wind up giving up in the complications of it all without seeing a clear goal.
And right you are ;) Well, you know it is possible the put a gif into a png, (one way or the other :rolleyes:), so now you need to find out if you can display something on the original DP (hooking?) or use a seperate window or something... Also, you need to find a way to prevent MSN Messenger to reset/resize the image to a "normal" PNG, like the wtbwplugin....

That off course, is something we cannot forget ;) My name and footprint in there =P
It would, by the way, even be nice to use that to add (like on these forums) a small text under the DP, or whatever, nice for extra features.
To add text etc... to the image you can use the same chunck you've created (or create another chunck for that matter). That way, the comment stays the comment, and doesn't become part of the animated gif.

Now, I know you're right about the fact that what I first suggested was bare ugly, I want to code it all natively because of the simple fact that I feel dizzy using other people's code. It gives me a feeling of lacking control. But I do want to get it all possible in an ugly way first, later there is always time for improvement. Feel free to argue if you think I'm wrong about this.
Nope, no arguments from me there ;)

It's not because you made some good plugins, that I don't know my stuff either...
