Re: [pinpoint] Put images in the foreground

[Robert Orzanna <orschiro googlemail com>]

Thank you for your answer.

The hint with unscaled did the job!

That is, I wanted to include about 300 pictures with the following syntax.

-- [unscaled] [photos/P1010030.JPG]

-- [unscaled] [photos/P1010031.JPG]

However, every time I try to launch pinpoint I get a bus error.

Is that too much for pinpoint to handle?

Regards,

Robert
