picture.loadfromfile problem

[martincg]

I use picture.loadfromfile to load an image.

I then save it somewhere using picture.savetofile.

Later, I might need to load the picture again from the last saved version, maybe when the application runs another time and this is where I have a problem. When the file is large (don't know what size is importatnt) I always get an error that the bmp is invalid when I try to load the saved version.
With smaller file, say 200K I have no problem. I appears that with large files savetofile causes an error.

Anyone understand this? Or more importantly, know how to solve it?

I checked it out with a 1600x1200 bitmap using Delphi 6, all was OK.

Try to set Bitmap.HandleType to bmDIB, it may solve the problem. By the way, the Width and Height of the bitmap should be known before setting the HandleType property (e.g. set HandleType after loading the image).
