Preload? I have not thought of that before. Hmm.

[nobbe]

maybe running the script then load bitmaps into 50 different bitmap handles could work

but externally "preload" bitmaps, then start "script" , then use preloaded bitmaps in script wont work

[Aceguy]

@nobbe, so how would you do that, ("maybe running the script then load bitmaps into 50 different bitmap handles")

[nobbe]

for one file see below, for 50 files you need an array $image[50]

_GDIPlus_Startup()
            Local $hImage
            $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($path)
            
            _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, @ScriptDir & "\temp.jpg")
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
            _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
