[fixed] bpgdec.exe console flicker

omniplex (SVG support via rsvg-convert.exe) wrote:About the stupid byte wanting to be fixed to get rid of the console window open/close: Some obscure tool known as editbin.exe can do this, and after about an hour with even more obscure downloads I managed to locate it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin. Where it still failed, because it's just a wrapper for some link.exe, but not the Open Watcom idea of link.exe After running vcvars32 in the VC/bin folder editbin.exe in the same folder was finally ready for action:

Code: Select all

editbin /SUBSYSTEM:Windows "c:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\PlugIns\bpgdec.exe"


A comparison with the original 0.9.6 bpgdec.exe reported two modified bytes: At offset D8 old B4 new B3, at offset DC old 03 new 02. At least the latter matches what stackoverflow predicted. Test with XnView 2.35: WFM.
