Re: thumbs.el problems

[Richard Stallman]

How about if you fix these obvious problems, and send a message
to the author about it?

    (when (not (display-images-p))
      (error "Your Emacs version (%S) doesn't support in-line images,
    was not compiled with image support or is run in console mode.  
    Upgrade to Emacs 21.1 or newer, compile it with image support 
    or use a window-system"  
             emacs-version))
    ============================================================

    Other lisp libraries related with images, like image.el, don't have
    such an abort feature, and it is perhaps best to have it nowhere.

Program-level features shouldn't do this, but maybe it is a good
idea if user-level features give some warning when the lack
of image support prevents them from really working properly.
