this fix is just great!!!
i cannot test it myself, but i can trust the comments
This works very well, the only bad side is that it asks for JavaScript, but as long as HFS templates are using it, it doesn't seem to be a problem
But, sorry if I disapoint you
, you always can test this kind of things

http://browsershots.org/screenshots/99355cc747dca021f12fba85a939c1d2/There is a .htc fix that actually enables png transparency... or is it javascript... I dunno, but there is fix that works, but thats for less concern, I would rather have access to these images
It's the same thing as the one I linked, it's far more worked out though, but there are so many differents fixes...
It seems that those tricks -almost
*- all pass thru the IE specific
DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader and javascript (
*there are server side tips also ^^).
But well, this was only an explicative example on how to free HFS from eating my processor ressources
I won't go into details, but making HFS a Gimp/CS/Irfanview isn't a good idea, I think
I also like PNG format, but I also know that it's far from a ressourceless conversion, JPG or GIF should be more appropriate to the task, as there are a lot of icons in an utilities share folder, in example.
I was thinking it could be accessed on /~img_file## so /~img_file16 all the way up to /~img_file256 once you get it working anyway. Of course if an icon doesn't support it, it should show the next higher or lower res available.
Unless i miss something, you got it, this is a client-side fix, it doesn't concern what you're talking about. You'll have access to the icon, like you said or another way, but you just won't have to deal with graphical tasks, just send the pic and leave the template do the work for you if necessary, as IE6 is the only concerned.
But okay, now i've exposed what I think, even if it's worthless ^^, I bounce again on the second main topic thing
(TSG's request for 7/Vista icon support)
By searching to help someone with PNG conversion, I link him to my favorite program
By watching more closely, I re-discover that source code was given. I think this could perhaps help you, as the second subject touch conversion in a certain way...
http://psydk.org/PngOptimizer.php?lang=enThis utility, in command line version, offers to play with transparency, and makes "minded" conversions.
note to moderators :Perhaps it should be a good idea to split this topic, "EXIF for thumbnails" and "vista/seven icons support", these two are linked but different things, I think
