Thanks! I'm now going to try to figure out what you mean by that - i.e. where these plugins are located and how to install them, but if anyone cares to explain that here it would be greatly appreciated.
if you use the installer executable from Gem, you will presented with a dialog (during installation; it's the 3rd page) that lets you choose which components you want to install. if you navigate to "plugins->image", you will have the option to choose from
- ImageMagick images
- QuickTime images
- SGI images
- JPEG images
- TIFF images
de-select "ImageMagick", and select the plugins you want. traditionally, Gem came with the SGI, JPEG and TIFF loaders, so i you want the same image loading capabilities like in the old days, only select those 3 plugins.
the ImageMagick plugin obviously makes problems on w7 (i only tested on XP), for the QuickTime plugin you need QuickTime installed (else you will unfortunately get side-effects)
