[Closed] Closing/Re-Saving a Bitmap?

Hi,

I’ve been struggling with this for a while… and I can’t seem to get this to work, at least consistently.

I am using trying to take a .TGA file and save as a .BMP to a temp directory so I can display that new bimap in a Dotnet Button, since .TGA files can’t be read in normally with DotNet.

I can get it all to work fine, but what I am trying to do, is basically create the temp bitmap on rollout open and display it, and then on rollout Closed, delete the temp bitmap and then when I open the Rollout again, it will re-create the temp bitmap again in the same location and display that.

Basically just a loop of creating/deleting the bitmap, since I don’t know any other way to go about working with .TGA files.

So the issue is that my Bitmap never gets closed in memory or something, because on trying to Re-Save the bitmap, I get the Image I/O Error.

Here is my bitmap creation code snippet…

-

-If File is a .TGA, make a temp bitmap so we can display i
 if (fileTypeBump == ".tga") then 
 (
																				
				  tempName = filenameFromPath   normalMapExtract.filename
																					
				   local tempBMPExt = getFilenameFile   normalMapExtract.filename
																			
					  --print (GetDir #image +"\\" + tempBMPExt + ".bmp") 
																			
																				
						  tempBmp = openBitmap normalMapExtract.filename
							 local iconBmp = bitmap 160 120
																				

						   for v = 0 to 119 do(

							   setPixels iconBmp [0,v] (getPixels tempBmp [(1-1)*160, v] 160)
								 )

							  --iconBmp.filename = (normalMapExtract.filename + "_temp")

								  iconBmp.filename = (GetDir #image +"\\" + tempBMPExt + ".bmp")

																				
									save iconBmp 1
									 close iconBmp 
									   close tempBmp
									  tempBmpGlobal = iconBmp

									  bitmap_dir_file = iconBmp.filename 
																	
										 --	bitmap_dir = GetDir #image +"/_temp.bmp"
																	
										  --print (filenameFromPath bitmap_dir_file)
																	
										  totalBitmaps +=1
	)
.... More code after this... 
																			 

Then when I closing the Rollout in the first place I am trying this…

	if tempBmpGlobal != undefined then
					(
						print (getBitmapInfo tempBmpGlobal as string)
						close tempBmpGlobal
						print tempBmpGlobal
						gc lite:true
					)
					
					local del_files =#();
					local tempDir = GetDir #image +"\\" 
					local files = getFiles (tempDir +"*.bmp");--delete files inside this folder before we can delete the folder
					

				--	print (usedMaps() as string)
					for fl in files do (
						append del_files fl;
					)
					--print (del_files as string)

					for s in del_files do 
						(
							
							 deleteFile s;
						
						)		

Any Ideas?? …

Thanks ALOT
