A user has made me aware of the fact that PNG bitmaps exported from
ArtWorks 2.6 have a signgificantly larger file size than those
exported from ArtWorks 2.5. This is due to a newer version of the
Spr2Png utility being used, which defaults to no compression whereas
the older one defaulted to full compression.
This will be fixed in a forthcoming bug-fix update, together with a
few other things that have come to light recently.
If you want to export compressed PNGs in the meantime, you can apply
the fix yourself. Locate the file !ArtWorks2.Auto.!T_Spr.!Spr2Png and
change the last line to:
/<ArtWorks$SVGX$spr2png> -9 %*0
(i.e., insert the "-9" parameter, the remainder remains the same)
