BMP preview bug or feature?
Posted: 25 Jun 2005 09:17
I found some bitmap files (extension, BMP) that TrackerV3 would not preview, giving the message "Image too large to preview". Viewing the file in a graphics viewer revealed it to be a run length encoded bitmap and changing the extension to RLE TrackerV3 previewed the image without any problem. I would have expected TrackerV3 to have been able to determine the format of the image from the file and adjust the viewer accordingly, or does TrackerV3 only determine the file type by it's extension?
