PNG icons no way!

[Laurent Julliard]

I'm running through Nicola's excellent GNUstep tutorial and while
working on the MyApplication test (the one with just a "quit" menu item)
I had the silly idea to produce of piece of art and decided to create an
icon for my first great app :-)

I stored the icon in MyApp.png as suggested int tutorial but when I
started the application GNUstep complained that it does not recognized a
TIFF resource (and for good reason...). Error is:

Jun 11 17:49:58 MyApp[13181] Tiff Error (TiffData) Not a TIFF file, bad
magic number 20617 (0x5089)
Jun 11 17:49:58 MyApp[13181] Tiff unable to open/parse TIFF data

Is this normal? Did I miss something when I compiled GNUstep? (libpng is
available on my machine) or is it just a typo in the tutorial and
GNUstep only knows about TIFF icons anyway.

Of course converting my PNG image to TIFF makes GNUstep perfectly happy.


Thanks for all your help.

won't double the usual traffic :-))))
