No, it's still not working even after rebooting the computer and
generating a PDF file from RISC OS, then dragging it to GView with 'Use
current' colour depth and 100% scaling set. For some reason the sprite
export on my copy of GView appears to generate files that disagree
horribly with !Paint. :-(
Even though they display without problems if dragged into !Draw, or even
into !Netsurf (which being a RISC OS app apparently has the ability to
handle sprite data!) Neither double-clicking nor dragging them directly
to Paint's iconbar icon is working for me.
Edit: although weirdly, dragging such a sprite - even one saved using
the 'monochrome' option - into *Draw* and then using 'Save->Sprites'
from the Draw window saves out a spritefile containing a sprite labelled
'gssprite', this presumably being the name read out of the original
file. But the two resulting files differ in length by a number of
bytes, with visual inspection showing that the 'bad' file has extra
non-zero data immediately following the byte on which the 'good' file
ends!
