Problems with png format

[kintaro]

Hi, I just downloaded sleekspace skin from CEGUI site and add it's files to CELayoutEditor 0.5 RC1, and had a problem with png format, that the LayoutEditor did not recognize. So I converted the pictures of imageset to tga format, and changed it in imagesets files too, and everything worked very well.

But I need to work with png format, so how can I do to CELayoutEditor work with png format?

Thanks for help

Hi kintaro,

the reason that PNG is not supported is because we don't have PNG support within our new MIT license (yet).

However it might be an idea to keep the editor less strict on this than cegui itself, because the editor is GPL anyway...

I will see if i can compile it against a cegui version with Devil enabled. Thanks for the heads-up and good luck!

to Scriptkid is this limitation introduce by the layout editor itself ?
Using SILLY, cegui can handle png easly in 0.5.0. The image codec class returns the list of supported image format. It would not be hard to enhance it to list all known extension as well and build the list based on this. It make sens only in OpenGL however.
