BitmapRip - Bitmap Ripper for Linux

[Mark0]

My first post here, so "Hello, World!" to all!

This is my first project with FreeBASIC, and also for Linux. It's a port of a tool I initially written in PowerBASIC for Windows (but seeing how well FreeBASIC works, I probably will use it for the Win version also).

Link: BitmapRip

it's a simple tool able to extract bitmaps (JPG, PNG, GIF and TIFF, currently) from just about any file, searching for their signatures. It could be a game data file, an EXE with embedded graphics resource, etc. It can be used also to undelete images / photos from flash cards, simply pointing it to a disk image file.

Code:

zod@minivac:~/downloads$ ./bitmaprip ../DSL-502T_Manual.pdf

Source?

[Mark0]

Not at the moment (but mostly because the code is somewhat ugly)!
Just to be sure that I'm not missing something: is source availability a requirement to post a about a project here? Just asking.

Thanks,
Bye!

Nope. 8)

Was there supposed to be a d/l link, though?

(Nice site, btw, and congrats on all those awards. Sweet Google rank, too. :wink: )

Mark, I really like your TrID file indentifier on your website. Very good idea, and very nice service to provide for free. Good job :)

Nice to hear you found it useful!

Thanks,
