>However the Gimp is definitely writing valid RLE streams to TGA files >these days, so Petr please try again with e.g. Gimp 1.2.2 Gimp 1.2.2 still has the bug when saving/loading indexed (8bpp) TGA images with transparency, which I reported to Nick some while back. Sorry, I should have fixed it, but if I get some real-life work done I promise I will give it a go. I do agree that Gimp should read even line-wrapping RLE streams; a cursory scan on my disk reveals a lot images which are made that way. I did the same when I wrote the TGA reader for SDL (accepting rule-breaking files but writing files according to the spec)
