I was converting the supplied language to Dutch. I ran into a problem modifying the flag icon. This is probably a hexadecimal string inside the XML-language file. Sadly I've got no knowledge of this part. Any ideas how to alter this?

Hi,
It is a 16x16 bmp file which is UUEncoded
You can send me the translation file if you wish, I could include it with the program (and I still have another language to add to the install...)
I'll have to search for the right flag from the icon library that I used, but here is the code from the Dutch flag used in AMC (which has slightly different flags style) if you want to test in the meantime :

I'll be giving it a shot later. Thanks.
And keep up the nice work.

Hi Antoine,

Seems like there is a lot I do not know. Yet. I'd like to try it out myself so here are some more questions.

-How do you convert from bmp to UUEncoded?
-Was the bitmap you used 16-color, 256-color or 24bit?
-What is AMC?


regards

I made a small tool to convert these bmp, there must be a lot of possibilities to do that, but the test tool I use can be get from http://antp.be/temp/uuenc.zip
- Click "button1" to select the file and then "button2" to generate the code (not sure it works)
or
- Just drag & drop a bmp to the form and it will put a UUEnc version of it in the clipboard, to be pasted as text.

I used 16 colors to keep the files small, or else the UUEnc string becomes really long

AMC is Ant Movie Catalog, the other software available from my site

It worked like a charm, Antoine. Thanks.
AMC, right. I ran across it several times actually. I should have known it couldn't be the Academic Medical Center.
When I'm finished translating, I'll send you the language file as well. It will take a few more day's.

I have sent you the translation Antoine.

Thanks, I'll check that this evening and send you back the file if I make changes to it
