The loading dialog needs to be shown while the plugins are being loaded, so the dialog can't use any of the plugins to display those images. I believe the loading dialog uses the image loaders from gdk-pixbuf (which is a library that GTK+ depends on). If you wanted to add apng support to the dialog, you'd need to add support there instead. (There might already be apng loaders for gdk-pixbuf somewhere out there, I haven't checked) -- drawoc _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
