Hi,

Out of amusement I created an OvPro document Win side with a number of
different graphic filetype in the frames, interesting how many came
through to the RISC OS side intact.
TIF and PNG get converted to Draw - a single sprite in a Draw file.
Picture->Info tells them away.
Interesting colour artifacts on the EMF file.
I wish I'd done right click menus.
Ah! that would explain why sometimes when extracting/Saving out a graphic
from Win OvPro it's a Drawfile rather than what I expected.
Poses a bit of a meandering Question mark.
If I can't use BMP files, what can I use when constructing Win side?
Jpegs are a nono for the obvious degradation issues, My sophisticated
graphics app PaintShop Pro can't handle Sprites or Drawfiles, some of the
other graphics thing I use only have output to BMP, Jpeg, or PNG.
I guess the only easy answer is to prepare all the graphics Win side, bung
'em over to the RISC OS side and construct there.
In a sense I'm lucky to be using VRPC, so it's very easy to drop in and
out of either OS.
This has been an interesting interlude. (I think). :-)
And...
Yes, Right click menus would have been a good idea, but too late now I
imagine. ;-)
Ovation Pro is such a good app, it's a shame it didn't take off so you
could continue to develop it.
That aside, Like probably many others here I'm exceedingly glad you did
develop it.
Thanks
Dave
Final musings... No moans, just musings...
1) Yes I have DPScan for Windows through which I could and sometimes do
post (PSP) process the graphics to output 'em as Sprites... Okay for a
couple of illustrations but an extra load of work if there are a lot of
them required.
2) I do have a Win side app that can load handle and Save out as Drawfiles
so RISC OS vector things are a bit easier...
Must remember, no BMP, no BMP, Nonono BMP. ;-)
