Now, with SVG support working, I get the splash.svg image which is far from the quality of the .png image - thus giving the user a non-optimal welcome screen. I suggest giving the PNG image priority over the other formats. BTW, if I use dired on the etc/images directory and open the .png or .pbm images, I see the image, while if I open the .xpm or .svg images, I get the source code rather than the image ... which is rather obscure (I think the ratio view image / edit image is close to 99:1 so I see very little reason for the current behaviour). I remember a talk about this a long time ago (I think it was Juri) that discussed ways to have image-minor-mode show the image rather than text initially - but maybe that was rejected or forgotten about. Please reconsider this. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
