Device Manager and PNG Files

[harleydude]

I think this problem is related to G5, but not sure. I have a image that is stored with a device in the Device Manager. The image is being sent to NR, however it does not appear that the transparency and blending information is being sent with the image. See the images below. The first one is being sent via the Device Manager, the second is sent using NetRemote.SetImage. These images are taken from the NR cache folder.

Any ideas?

How is the image being loaded into the DM control?

png = { MimeType = "image/png",
Command = function (self,filename)
local image = gd.createFromPng (filename)
if not image then
self:Log (4,'Failed to load image '.. filename)
return '',0,0
end
local imagestring = image:pngStr ()
assert (imagestring)
return imagestring,image:sizeX (),image:sizeY()
end },

Before you call image:pngStr() can you try image:saveAlpha(true) - this defaults to off and may well be responsible for the problem you're seeing.

Rob,

That looks like what it needed.

Thanks
