Crashing Gimp

torsdag, mars 11, 2004

I hate creating gif's for transparancy, because of the stupid unisys patent. Besides, png always look better, and is almost always smaller too. And it's a bloody free standard, and I love those.
- I use the Gimp for image-creation, and it started crashing when both saving and opening png's a few weeks back.

I have no idea why, but after deleting zlib.dll in the PATH of my system (this was windows\system32 here), it worked fine. It was what they call 'ancient', dated 1998, so I copied over the zlib.dll from the gtk folder. I hope no other programs start crashing now.
