New Picture Datatypes

[miker1264]

Hello again.

Update. My additions to Picture Datatype have been committed to the ABIv1 sources.

Now Save As IFF in MultiView will allow saving ILBM images.

Also two new methods "WhichPicture" and "GetNumPictures" have been added.

Maybe we can also bring this to IcarosDesktop for ABIv0.

I'll see if I can integrate these changes over weekend. Do I only need to bring changes from 31.03, 4.04 and 5.04?

There were changes in methods.h pictureclass.h and pictureclass.c modules. Also "STATIC" was dropped from function names. So the new function is "IPTR DT_Write".

We tested the picture datatype after committing changes. It was working well with MultiView. I will post a few test images here.

For Save As IFF it can save ILBM images with 8bitplanes and below and also 24bitplanes.

Where there any changes needed in Multiview? If so, when were they comitted?

@deadwood

MultiView automatically detects if DTWM_IFF is enabled in Picture Datatype.

But DTM_Write needs to be enabled in picture.conf file just below DT_PRINT on line 43. Add:

DTM_WRITE
.function DT_Write

If it isn't already enabled.

I was looking at your repository at:
github.com/deadwOOd/AROS
if that is the correct location for the current ABIv0 sources.

It seems DTM_WRITE is enabled. Mazze had enabled it in ABIv1 some time ago but he didn't have the Save ILBM for DT_Write. The current version of Picture Datatype for ABIv1 is 41.6 and yours is 41.5 so they are very similar. Just add the new DT_Write and two new methods (attributes). WhichPicture, GetNumPictures. DT_Write is already present at line 1604.

I included IFF Sample Images here as attached file.
You can also open 8bit or 24bit images in MultiView and Save As IFF. I can help test Picture Datatype and MultiView after you integrate the changes.

Ok, thanks

@deadwood

Is that the correct location for the current ABIv0 repository ?

github.com/deadwOOd/AROS

I see from a previous post that it is the correct location.

It may save you some effort if I simply fork your repo and make a new branch to submit a PR for changes to your Picture Datatype. I have a few other changes to submit also.

Here is ABI_V0 branch:

This isn't really a datatype, but it is datatype related.

A newer version of MultiView can Save As IFF and Save As PNG.

Thanks, Multiview is definitely the best viewer.

On my AROS One i associated images to PicShow because to see all the images in a folder you only need to click one.

However there is the excellent LoView that also allows SlideSow and image saving in IFF, JPG, PNG and BMP formats.
LoView doesn't seem to work well on AROS because the association doesn't work, only the Request for path selection appears, on OS3 it works fine instead.

Testing the New Picture Datatype and Super-MultiView with Save As IFF & Save As PNG in my "AROS Vanilla" 68k Version...

[miker1264]

Here is S-MultiView compiled for X86_64 as well as 68k.

[miker1264]

Here is New Picture Datatype compiled for X86_64 as well as 68k.

[miker1264]

Darn!!

My JPEG Datatype Update to Load 8bit Grayscale JPEG Images actually works in AROS 68k...

I thought for sure I would need to enable Serial Debug in WinUAE to do hours of troubleshooting.
Now I have to play with something else. 

[miker1264]

Here is the New Jpeg Datatype compiled for x86_64 & AROS 68k...

The 64bit folder contains the source code as well if you're curious about how it is done!

Same for S-MulitView & New Picture Datatype. The source code is included.
