That's against Hollywood's design guidelines to be as portable as possible

even with camd.library ?

With that it's easier but it's still a lot of work when doing it in a proper platform-independent manner and probably not too many people care about it...

Not very likely to come because this is a lot of work for little gain. On Amiga it would be very easy to support because of reqtools.library but on all other platforms StringRequest() uses a custom implementation that would have to be changed to support this and that's a lot of work.

I saved the clown.pic from PPaint with Art Effect, there are compression levels from 0 to 9 in it.

ArtEffect PNG (0) - 192662 bytes
ArtEffect PNG (6) - 106532 bytes
ArtEffect PNG (9) - 106029 bytes

In other words, Hollywood is even better than the best compression level in ArtEffect

Well, swipes are currently not supported by Hollywood. But maybe in the future...

The PPaint image is of course 8 bit colormapped, but I thought that PNG works only with truecolor.

No, PNG also supports palette-based images. This explains why PPaint's image is smaller. It saves it as 8-bit whereas Hollywood saves as 24-bit.

You mean you want to have "LEFT" and "RIGHT" key events for left and right swipe?

I do not agree there is a real gain with compression

Example please?

Huh? PNGs are already compressed...

Looks like you didn't install AmiSSL, did you?
