Picture converter: SplitMultiImage 1.1
"SplitMultiImage" splits files that contain several pictures (e.g. multi-page TIFF fax files) into the individual pictures.
The new version fixes a bug which caused SplitMultiImage to save multiple copies of the same image for files containing only one image, when the datatype does not support PDTA_GetNumPictures.

SplitMultiImage 1.0 released
The first version of a new tool called SplitMultiImage is now available.
Starting with AmigaOS 3.5, the picture.datatype documentation defined two
new tags (PDTA_GetNumPictures and PDTA_WhichPicture), which allowed
subclasses to return different images from the same file, where relevant.
For example, TIFF image files often contain more than one image, and
WarpTIFF.datatype is able to decode any of those images on request,
returning any of the images to the application.
Unfortunately, not many applications have made use of this feature (in
fact, at the time of writing, Oliver is not aware of any) and can therefore read
only the first image in a file. After requests from WarpTIFF users wanting
to know of software capable of reading all the pages in multi-page TIFF fax
files, Oliver decided to write SplitMultiImage. Although not as nice as
Multiview having this capability built-in, SplitMultiImage at least allows
all the images to be viewed by extracting all the images from a file and
saving them separately as IFF-ILBM files.
SplitMultiImage is not restricted to TIFF files - in theory, it will work
with any datatypes supporting the new tags and for image formats that can
contain multiple images.

XAD is for example supported by Directory Opus 4, MUI Unarc or Voodoo-X.

Poll regarding further development of "Schlachtfeld"
In the forum of "Schlachtfeld" are meanwhile some very positive entries there. Regarding the requirements do some points appear again and again, e.g. network play, speed, problems under AGA or UAE. Unfortunately there's only a small number of users registered and the feedback via the beta tester form equals zero.
To find a perspective for a development continuation there's now an entry with several questions in the forum. The developers team hopes to receive numerous answers that give a clear view for the further development. Many thanks in advance to all who'll participate!
