Perhaps somebody finds it useful: I've ported LodePNG, a small and 
simple png decoder to D.(1 function call, life doesn't get easier than 
this). There's also an encoder part, which I have not ported yet.

You can get it here: lutger.ifastnet.com/png.d
Documentation: lutger.ifastnet.com/png.html

Port is straightforward, no attempt to change things much except some 
raw pointers to arrays and replaced zlib routine by Phobos ones. Also 
not tested much.

Ha, I was just figuring out DSSS. It seems that it *just works*, very nice.

Two questions if I may, can I register somehow to update this thing in 
the future? And should I change the name and put it inside a package?

Thanks for your efforts.

/ABSOLUTELY/

http://dsss.codu.org/ is the source management interface. Register 
yourself then send me an email, and I'll give you access to to the 
source list entry for it.

 And should I change the name and put it inside a package?

I'd recommend that :)

 
 Thanks for your efforts.

My efforts are only in the direction of self-advancement, I assure you ;)

The encoder is now ported too, along with some other improvements. It 
only encodes 32 bit RGBA images and if it fails, it does so without 
giving errors.

The module is changed from png.d to lodepng.png.d. DSSS is not updated yet.

This port still needs some work and testing. I will improve the code and 
fold in updates from the original.

If you use it and find a bug or have some suggestion, do let me know.
