Hmm nope. Do you have a PNGlib.dll in your GameBase folder?

Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, i have this PNGlib.dll (in the GB-Mainfolder, not in my created GB, right ?)
I use also *.png's for the "normal" Screenshots. And this works.
But not when using a *.png in the EXTRA :?

When you say it doesn't work, what actually happens?

Well, nothing :lol:
When going to EXTRAS in the GUI, and select the Picture i've made, nothing happens....
Also when using your new column where all files are startable from...

EDIT :


O.K. got it !
*.png was not associated with any picture-view-program...... :oops:
Now, it works....(for me with irfanview)

It's a valid point you have though. I'll add something to the new wiki docs to the effect that you may need to setup programs that run the extras.
