Re: GdkPixbuf: png loader doing too much work?

[zucchi zedzone mmc com au (NotZed)]

Probably because it was based on imlib ... the jpeg decoder has
similar weird shit in it, but it was completely removed.
(it might make sense if you wanted to scale or process the data
as it loaded, but gdk-pixbuf doesn't do that).

Assuming the code sets up the right decode size for png's, that code
looks ok to me.

There aren't any, for gdk-pixbuf.
