So the documentation for Picture says:
Yet, with this example:
dim p as Picture
dim f as FolderItem
f = GetOpenFolderItem("")
p = Picture.Open(f)
p.save(f.parent.Child(f.name + ".gif"), Picture.SaveAsGIF)
I get an UnsupportedFormatException with the message: “SaveAsPicture doesn’t support format 402 on the Macintosh.”
Is this a bug in the documentation or in Xojo or am I doing something wrong?
Per the Lang.Ref.
Now it CAN be done on a Mac… via a Shell command and the SIPS program (that comes installed on every MAC)
So you’re saying it should be read as “Supported on Windows only (if GDI+ is installed)” as opposed to “Supported on Windows (only if GDI+ is installed)”? To me at least the mention of it being cross-platform means it’s not Windows-only.
As an additional example,
SaveAsPNG works on a Mac.
