hi again,
got another pix_multiimage problem, which is really weird in my opinion.... i preloaded a series of .tif sequences with pix_multiimage which worked really fine, but the .tif images are really big so i converted them to .png(need something with an alpha channel) and now it doesn't load the sequences anymore??????? or maybe it does because when i try to delete the images from my harddisc while pd is open it says"cannot delete cuz used by another program".
the exact error that happens within pd is it says error: [pix_multiimage]: selection number too high: 0 (max num is 0) until 100(it's a 100 pics sequence) when i try to run the anim by a counter. if i use .tif files in the same patch they are loaded perfectly so it actually can't be a coding failure?
pd version: pd extended 0.40.3 os: winXP
2 remarks: - i am not aware that Gem can load png images on w32 at all (but might happily be mistaken :-))
- the reason why the files are "locked" is a weird bug in Pd (or my way to compile any external for Pd) that does not allow an external to properly close a file-handle created with open_via_path() (this has recently been discussed on the Pd-list (search for something like file-handle leaks), but i just noticed that i there is no proper bug-report on neither pd-gem nor pure-data...
