As i somehow missed gridflow until now, i wrote a little png library wrapper using flext. Now gridflow is just too nice but if anyone is still interested in these 400 lines of code, just email me a note and i will put it online somewhere.
If you can debug GridFlow-for-PD, please do!!
I see. This is in fact necessary. Huh - Me? Hmm let's see... Cough cough, seems like we are all missing some good docs. That _will_ take some time. Ruby looks like python, but at a first look i cannot tell how bridge_puredata.c does its job.
This is a little bit deeper than i am actually aiming at.
and if not, then I would be interested in porting the PNG code to GridFlow, which is not using flext despite being C++ code. You see, GridFlow doesn't have PNG support yet.
Wait a minute, i put it on pdwiki...

Whoops! Wrong place. Why now?

Uark. It said permissions, didn't it? Sorry. Anyway, URL is:
ftp://iem.kug.ac.at/incoming/pd-externs/bitmap-0.1.tar.gz
BTW: I needed just half a day to follow the pnglib readme file and compile the first wrapper. It's no big deal.
I just started using gridflow so i may decide to continue developing pngread later.
BTW: I would like to implement flext-threads,
You want to implement them into what?
Implement loading a png in a thread.
Loading a png requires a relatively big cpu chunk. There is no herb against this latency but there is no need to eat it all at once.
