Could you comment this in emacs-devel mailing list? Pass it on if you want to. There are a lot of problems due to Ghostscript rendering directly to Pixmaps. Every image is rendered with its own Ghostscript process, but the parameter passing requires X properties as a global resource. This is done once per Ghostscript session and includes the display dimensions, so it can't really be extended to multiple image rendering without further Ghostscript API changes. The display code triggering the display is rather asynchronous: I've not been able figuring out how it is rooted in the bowels of the display engine. In practice, it worked more or less for a single image rendering per Emacs session. It doesn't scale at all. Serious work both in Ghostscript as well as in Emacs would be required to make this a smooth working feature, and I see no candidate for either. ------------------------------------------------ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread
