Does anyone know how to make a DPAINT III picture color cycle automatically when it is loaded into a viewing program? Can you edit the IFF file to start cycling automatically? Chris Abissi

Most display programs have the ability to turn on/off color cycling via command line switches. Check the docs for the display program. (or often just typing the program name and '?' will print a list of allowed commands — ie SuperView ? will list the color cycle switch for it, etc) In DPaintIII the picture is automatically saved with the settings of the palette color cycle settings. That allows you to set upto six ranges (I think) the cycle independently, and have them stored with the file. Some display programs will automatically use this info, others will require specifically turning the cycling on. Oh, there are usually WB Icon settings that do the same thing as the command line switches, if launching from the WB is your style. –jp–seattle–

Chris, I don't think you can do any thing to a Dpaint pic to make it auto cycle. Could be wrong here. BUT if you use Super View to look at the picture you have Options when you call the program that will auto cycle if cycling is contained in the picture. Super View should be in the libraries here. -Tom
