That may be the source of the problem. In this thread a few days ago I asked why I could get PNG files to load into OP and CFSI on a VRPC (RiscOS 4) but not on an Iyonix (RiscOS 5). I got no response ... but further delving on the Internet led me to the following page: http://www.iyonix.com/iyonix/features/503notes.shtml

This indicates that RO 5.03 had no PNG support, unlike RiscOS 4 select. I'm not aware that PNG support has been provided in subsequent versions of RO5. Does this perhaps explain why neither of us has had any joy with PNG files and OP/CFSI?

Perhaps someone with more technical knowledge of these matters would like to comment ...? Clive Bonsall 

Clive,
I would assume, because the Iyonix version of RISC OS is a retro OS, it
doesn't contain the additional graphic convert modules (ConvertPNG 0.37)
that the RO Select/Adjust versions have, that enable CFSI to convert more
graphic filetypes.

ConvertPNG, BMP, etc. > Dave S 

Thanks. Anyone know where ConvertPNG is located on a VRPC?

Related question ... is there a utility that will search for files on a VRPC. ISTR that I've tried Steve Fryatt's !Locate, and it doesn't work with VRPC.
