ICON issue

[debrouxl]

Quote:Preferably, they should move to direct support with PNG/JPG files in an application. That ICON keyword was never meant to be abused like they've done...

IIRC, the move was not performed for at least two good reasons:
* backwards compatibility;
* the ease of generating ICONs, represented as plain text - applications containing AFiles constructs are another story. HP's proprietary, Windows-only, non-scriptable (AFAWCT) infrastructure for generating such apps is completely unsuitable for a non-interactive batch generation workflow like that of mViewer GX Creator, running on a Linux server with a grsec kernel.

BTW, critor's initial tests of mViewer GX Creator with the latest firmware version are very disappointing. The results are worse than in the previous versions: not only the calculator is still very easily running out of memory (despite the memory leak fixes), but also, the relevant documents are corrupted to death upon reboot. Earlier firmware revisions have never done that in his tests, and mViewer GX Creator users for the Prime (we have a noticeable number of those) haven't reported that.
He provided more information, in French, at https://ti-pla.net/p200112 .

If Cyrille or someone else from HP wants unrestricted access to mViewer GX Creator (no daily cap of 10 generations) to throw images at it and gather testcases, just ask us. Both your account (Tim) and Bernard Parisse's already have it.
