Re: [AD] Windows binary suggestion

[Elias Pschernig <elias@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that's risky for two reasons:

1. The native loaders understand additional formats, so someone might go and read e.g. gifs then be surprised they don't work on other platforms.

2. The native loaders only support a limited subset of .png (e.g. paletted ones don't work in 8-bit mode) - so for consistency it would be better to always use libpng unless you really know what you are doing.

I think next time the Windows binaries are built they should be build with
-DWANT_NATIVE_IMAGE_LOADER, so libpng/libjpeg aren't needed.
