Microsoft and their partners care. They would be on lhunath like a cheap suit.

A Plus! feature would be better because it takes up less memory and she can use these forums as support.

So why not just take apart the program, see how it works, then write a similar code that is built for our needs.

Also disassembly of a program to steel parts is ilegal :P...

So far the method that has been propoused has had probelsm that comments they add to animate are removed by the protocall (as i understand it) to make the file size smaller, therefore they are working on a way of either making the image comments read only in effect and not removable.... or a different method of the plugin sendign lots of seperate frame pictures then the person with the plug at the other end assembling them into an animation - crude but workable, however people without the plug will get anoyed by your display picture changing every few seconds or atleast very often. Benfit of other method they would only see the first frame if they didnt have the plugin and just see it as a still picture.

Now i may have parts wrong but thats how i understand it..... insted of proposing ilegal methods :P of disassembly. Lets give them some time to work on it. :)

I was suggesting that lhunath disassemble the program to examine it. But I guess there is something in the EULA that says no disassembling. I don't ever read it :P

The problem with sending small chuncks and then re-assembling them would be that you would need to have a seperate program running. Inserting the animation into the comments and locking it, then extracting the picture and displaying it over the Display Picture is a much better idea, if it's doable.

That's called a plugin or addon :undecided:

that doesn't make sense, reread the thread to know how a PNG is made up. And you can't "lock" something inside a file....

This whole thread is exactly about that. :undecided:


Please reread the thread... Reisyboy summed it up quite well. Do not suggest things unless you didn't read the thread and/or don't understand what the problems are and what the possible decent fixes are....


This thread was a nice, decent, technical, on topic, thread... :(
