RE: bad tool-bar icons in Emacs 22.1 release

[Drew Adams]

I should also have pointed out that the tool-bar buttons don't align with
the images. For instance, the leftmost button is in its normal position,
which means that it corresponds to two half-images from the two leftmost
icons. And so on, across the bar. Some of the buttons have ~ a single icon,
but others have two half-icons.

need to install some image DLLs (see the README below).

Looks like a bug.  But I couldn't reproduce this when using
emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip without further DLLs.

No, I wasn't looking for nicer icons (but thanks anyway).
I was reporting a bug in the Emacs 22.1 release (with the default icons).

Did you do just what I did? I downloaded and installed first the full
Windows binary distrib (i.e. bin, not barebin), and then downloaded and
installed the full source distrib, on top of the Windows binary distrib. See
my description for details.

The nicer color icons (GNOME/GTK/style; see e.g. etc/images/save.xpm)
are "the default icons" [1].  They only require external image
libraries whereas the monochrome PBM/PGM/PPM icons are supported by
natively by the Emacs binary w/o further libs (DLLs on Windows), see
the README file cited previously.

[1] I'd consider the monochrome icons as a fallback e.g. for
    monochrome displays.

No, I downloaded and unzipped emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip.  But I doubt
that it makes a difference WRT the misaligned icons.

You might consider color to be the default, but for Windows, you don't get
color by default - you must install external image libraries. You might
consider B&W to be only a fallback for monochrome displays, but it is also
the default installation for color displays on Windows: out of the box, that
is, with just the downloaded zip or tar, you get B&W. If you follow
additional instructions, performing additional steps (optional), then you
can get color.

To my understanding of "default", the default for Windows is B&W, not color.

Nothing wrong with that, if it's unavoidable, but let's not pretend that the
default is color if a user needs to jump through extra hoops (on Windows) to
get color. BTW, when was the last time anyone saw Windows used with a
monochrome display?

This is one reason that I support the idea of an Emacs installer for
Windows, such as the one Lennart Borgman supplies. Windows users are used to
simply pushing a button to get something installed, perhaps answering yes or
no a few times to simple customization questions, and perhaps changing a
location or two - that's it. They are less used to digging out and reading
READMEs with instructions about possibly downloading supplemental packages
and installing them to obtain optional features. That happens sometimes, but
it is not very common. It certainly doesn't happen for something as basic as
color support.

Wrt color: I've installed lots of programs on Windows, and I've never had to
do anything special to get them to be color-able or color-aware. For many
Windows users, this will reflect poorly on Emacs, I'm afraid, not on
Windows. They see color everywhere in Windows, so they will not think this
is something lacking in Windows - they will think that it is something
lacking in Emacs. Which, in a sense, it is ;-).

I don't use Lennart's installer myself, BTW, because AFAIK it bundles other
things that I don't want, it sets up a version of server/client that I don't
want, and it makes assumptions of where I want to put Emacs etc. Still, I
think the idea of an installer is a good one, even if I personally use just
a zip file of vanilla Emacs. (Please note the "AFAIK" - I haven't tried
Lennart's installer in a while, and I might be mistaken about it.)

You might doubt it, and you might be right. But from your and my
descriptions, that is the only difference between what we each did. Either
our descriptions are incomplete or that difference is significant. To
reproduce a bug, it's usually not a bad idea to follow the recipe provided
;-).

Having the image support DLLs in the same zip file as the Emacs
binaries would solve the particular problem that is the subject of
this thread as well as an installer.

Yes, thank you. Presumably in the bin subdirectory of the Emacs directory.

I agree that most Windows users expect this and it would be nice to
have such an installer for Emacs as well.  OTOH, experienced
users/admins might prefer ZIPs because this makes sure that the
installed files are located in a given directory and not spread across
the system.  Another advantage is the ability to run the application
"without installation" directly from an USB stick.  (I remember such
considerations for Mozilla products, "portable Firefox", "portable
Tunderbird").  So it might be good to offer ZIP _and_ installer
versions.

If there's no problem WRT license issues, I think it would make much
sense to include the image support DLLs in the official Emacs
distribution for windows.  Without these DLLs, Emacs' tool bar really
looks antiquated.

The libraries are Free, so it is certainly possible to distribute them
together, provided all the terms of all the licenses involved are
followed. Whether distributing third party libraries from ftp.gnu.org is
a good idea, or allowable, is a different question.

Re: bad tool-bar icons in Emacs 22.1 release

[Richard Stallman]

    Whether distributing third party libraries from ftp.gnu.org is
    a good idea, or allowable, is a different question.

If it is just a few libraries, it is ok as long as we check
their licenses carefully to make sure we do not violate them.

OK. Here is the license for libxpm, which is the most important for the
color versions of the tool-bar and other images that are a standard part
of Emacs. I think including just this library is enough to satisfy most
users, but that is open to discussion. If others think JPEG, PNG, TIFF
and GIF support are important enough to include, we can look at those
licenses and consider patent issues (for GIF at least, I don't think the
patents have expired in all jurisdictions yet) separately.

    The Software Freedom Law Center says that after 1 October 2006,
    there will be no significant patent claims interfering with

Re: bad tool-bar icons in Emacs 22.1 release

[Richard Stallman]

There is no problem distributing the source code for libxpm.  If we
distribute the binary, then we need to include this license with it,
and we should distribute the source too as a matter of general principle.

Re: bad tool-bar icons in Emacs 22.1 release

[Richard Stallman]

    If there's no problem WRT license issues, I think it would make much
    sense to include the image support DLLs in the official Emacs
    distribution for windows.

Are these libraries free software?
If so, I don't mind including them.

It turned out that the difference was the ZIP unpacker; so i was

I neither had bandwidth nor time to follow your recipe (and
significant difference wasn't included in the recipe ;-)).  It was
just by chance that I already had installed emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip
the day before.

Bye, Reiner.

Yes, you were right. I was wrong that the only difference between what we
did was that I overwrote the Windows distrib with the complete source
distrib and you did not.

Judging by the type of corruption you are seeing, did the program you
used to unpack the source distribution also convert the line-ends of
files to DOS line ends, thus corrupting the image files?

Bingo! Thanks. `find-file-literally' shows ^M at the end of each line.

I read this in the README.W32:

      "Be sure to disable the CR/LF translation or the executables will
      be unusable.  Older versions of WinZipNT would enable this
      translation by default.  If you are using WinZipNT, disable it.
      (I don't have WinZipNT myself, and I do not know the specific
      commands necessary to disable it.)"

FYI - My WinZip version is "8.1 (4331)" - a few years old. The latest
version available is 11.1.

I wonder if the README.W32 text shouldn't say which WinZip versions are
problematic (e.g. prior to version ___)?

Wrt how to disable it: I found, at least in my version, that the
Miscellaneous tab of the Configuration dialog box has a check box "TAR file
smart CR/LF conversion", which I assume is the problem (it was checked).

Thanks again. Sorry for the false route, but perhaps this will help in some
way.

I think all versions have the problematic option in them, but the
default for that option varies. I don't have the time nor inclination to
go through all the various versions they've ever released to check.
