: : OK, if you had a program which converted _any_ type of image files to the dink palette, and made them bitmps, which would be more important to you:
: : 1.- speed (currently it takes 16 seconds to convert 4 medium sized sprites (medium is like a section of stone wall)
: : 2.- or the ability to change the palette really easily.
: : I have a branch in the development of my program see, and i thought I'd ask everyone first
: : is 16 seconds too long? how many pictures are you likely to change at once??
: What is the alrternative to "changing the palette really easily", not changing at all or with a little difficulty? 'Cause it's not something most people will need, so I don't think it matters if it takes a little work, but if you couldn't do it at all that's a significant tradeoff.
It would involve deleting a file, every time you wanted to change the palette.... I'll try it out, and see what the speed increase is like
