Ok, I managed to change my png plugin to handle cleaning out all transparent pixels. What do you say? Is it interesting to go in right now? If it is a PNG recomendation, then it might be a nice add on, and it is small enough to go in even now, before the first pre-2.0. a 640x480 pix image with a transparent hole of about half it's size got a 15% file size decrease. I will polish my changes a little and submit the patch do bugzilla. If anyone wanna try it, just tell me now. JS -><- On Tuesday 16 December 2003 10:31, Joao S. O.
