#20 DocView does not render INF files images Correctly

Thanks Graeme for the feedback. Is there a link where I can get the compiled fixed (develop branch) version of DocView for Windows? I can not find it.

ps: Since I'm part of the OS2World community I'm trying to organize and document some of those old newsletters on INF files. Even that the OS/2 INF reader works fine, sometimes I need to see it on Windows too.

Regards.

Thank you, and thank you for reporting this. It looks like it might have been fixed in the "develop" branch. In my docview (based on "develop" branch) those images render correctly. I'll see if I can figure out what was fixed and if it can be backported to the "maint" (stable) branch.

ps: It was awesome to read those old magazines - a great window into how the gaming scene looked like back in 1994-1995! A huge benefit of INF over websites - that info would have been lost long ago if it was the latter. Wow, those game developers sure weren't shy on using contrasting and saturated colours! :-D

Hello

First, thanks for creating DocView for Windows.

Opening some OS/2 INF files I noticed that DocView is not rendering correctly some images on the file.

Here you can find some INF example and I'm attaching a sample image:
