Load PNG

Post by NTech »

Finally, JB can load PNG files with this quick and handy little tool. It requires .NET Framework 1.1 and above. And at 5.0 kb, it's small enough to release with any application. PNG images are smaller and more efficient than native BMP images.

:arrow: Please report any troubles or bugs.

Usage:

Code: Select all

run "loadPng.exe pngToConvert.png bmpOutput.bmp"
loadbmp "image", "bmpOutput.bmp" 'we have loaded the png!
kill "bmpOutput.bmp" 'let's clean up after ourselves
Please note that a png file to convert has to exist. Do not forget to clean up the converted file, thatway it does not clutter things up.

Update: LoadPNG should now work with JPGs too. Just pass a JPG to the exe the same way the PNG was passed.

I was long wanting to have some tool like that, royalty-free.
Dream have come true ;)
Thanks, NTech.
