UTF-8 Compliant Picture Chooser
The BMP format is also supported as standard.
Incredibly, the guys at PureBasic decided not to support the GIF format any more because they consider that it is outmoded!
In order to support GIFs in my Chooser, I had to write an additional little module in LC. It converts GIFs to PNGs for the
purpose of the preview.
Unfortunately, as you can see from the picture below, the colouring of the original GIF is not respected by the conversion.
As soon as I discover the reason for this, or when it is fixed if it is a bug, I will correct it. Meanwhile, the inaccuracy of the
GIF colouring is not much of an issue, since it is only used for a simple preview.
