Hi,

I reckon I must have changed a setting but I'm darned if I can work out what it is. . .

I'm running SiteSpinner V2.00d under Win ME.

I've a 150K bitmap image. When I publish the bitmap is not re-rendered to png as I expected but stays as the original bmp - same size and everthing.

I've checked 'edit Geometry' and the rendering file format for this object is set to 'PNG' and 'Render Background' is checked.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Check to make sure 'render' is checked in the quick properties. That is problably the reason.

'Render' in quick properties is already checked so I guess it's not that.

To remove as many variables as possible I created a new project and placed just the bit map in it. On publishing the problem persists - which makes me wonder if it is something to do with a default global setting somewhere. . .

Aha! I think I have discovered a software feature!

Here's the score:

If I import a bmp image and do not resize it in any way it is not rendered to a png when published.

If I do resize the image (even if that means making it smaller than putting it back to its original size) it is rendered to a png when published.

So I've got a work around - which keeps me happy. If you concur wuth my findings perhaps you can pass it on to your developers.

Ok, that would explain it. That is actually a feature (it is intentional anyway) The idea is that if you don't change any settings you get you original image unchanged.

The concept probably need some tweaking so that if you change the file format you don't have to resize.
