#10 Unable to add images under Windows

[Mark Ashworth]

Good Day,

I have tried to use HelpSetMaker on two Windows machines and on both I cannot add images. The tutorial that comes with the source has it's images invalidated when I open it.

Exception in thread "Thread-5" java.lang.IllegalStateException: error.unknownfil

Good Day,

The problem seems to be that the qcjj library that is released with the HelpSetMaker and that is downloadable from SourceForge does not allow images to be of type gif even though HelpSetMaker accepts gif images.

Instead of exceptioning like it does and freezing the UI maybe the library/Gui should just skip over gif files.
