Hi,
New filter pack at:
https://www.davidpilling.com/cd/DavidPilling/Filters/InstallFilter.exe
with instructions:
https://www.davidpilling.com/cd/filters.html
I'll spare you searching by including them here:
"From 2018 a filter for .bmp files is included. This allows .bmp files
to be converted into Acorn Draw format when imported, the advantage is
that pictures will then appear when the documents are viewed on RISC OS.
For this to work it is necessary to set the impex bits in Ovation Pro.
This macro will turn on conversion of .bmp
{impexbits(0x69c,1,0)}
This macro will turn it off
{impexbits(0x69c,0,1)}
To make the setting permanent, the code can be added to !Custom.csc
which can be found in C:\Program Files
(x86)\DavidPilling\OvationPro\AutoRun
The default is to load bmp files into documents without any conversion,
which is all that was possible until 2018."
Thanks, now for a next question...
Any idea what the following means?
"Error: Must be type at line 16 in
HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\davidPilling\OvationPro\>\AutoRun\!Custom.csc"
Whatever it is, it is preventing things from working.
I've put (C&P) {impexbits(0x69c,1,0)} in the AutoRun file. (See below).
Thanks
Dave
FWIW. That registry key does not exist.
The contents of the Custom.csc are:
------------------------------------------------
//->!Custom
//
// This is a file of personal preferences for various options
//
//
void main(void)
{
setmaindictionary("MainDict");
setuserdictionary("UserDict");
}
// Set impexbits on for .bmp to Draw filter
{impexbits(0x69c,1,0)}
-----------------------------------------------
BTW. I have no idea what any of it means.
