- But doing so you're creating a non standard datatype. DataType should be
- blind objects simply translating formats to Amiga native ones (i.e. IFF
- in most of cases).Picture.datatype should be responsible of display.
- Why not have a look at the new V43 picture.datatype? (You can find a beta
- version,stable in my experience,on Aminet)
- All above is imho of course :)
