Hi,

In the process of learning Ultimate++ I'm tying to make a small GUI tool to resize images. I studied the tutorials/examples and search the forum and managed to load the images I want to resize in ColumnList, but I have two problems so far:

1- Some .jpg images don't open even with the ImageView example, but they open fine with the TheIde & the IconDes including its Filesel Preview ( & its WhenIconLazy after i removed the .icon size restriction).

2- The images loading/showing is so slow, I think the bottleneck happens when the Stream is converted back to Image.

The code I come up with:

void imageresizer::openimages(){
	
	if(!fs.ExecuteOpen()) return;

	int fslen = fs.GetCount();

	
	work.Run([=] {

		for(int i =0; i < fslen ; i++) {
			
			String fn = fs[i];

			Image img = StreamRaster::LoadFileAny(fn);			

				GuiLock __;				
				
				if(IsNull(img)) {

					Exclamation(DeQtf(fn) + " not an image.");
					
				}
					
				else {
				
					ClmList.Add(i, img, true);

				}
		}

	});

}

I would appreciate any help or guidance.

Thanks you

I just figured out that the problem is the build "CLANG/CLANGx64", I changed it to "MSVS19x64" and now all my images open with my code and ImageView example.
Not sure what's the exact cause, but I'll stick with MSVS19x64 for now.

I have tracked the problem down to the bug in clang64 toolchain (reported here: https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/242)

For now, it is fixed by increasing allocation limit for plugin/jpg. If you do not want to reinstall U++, you can fix that by adding

#define DEFAULT_MAX_MEM 1024*1024*256

at the start of plugin/jpg/lib/jconfig.h
