That's bizarre. No, it's not. Well, sort of.

OK, this is definitely fixed in the 2.1.3 update, which I *hope* to
upload this evening.

That is fixed, too.

The compression option converts the BMP files (produced by LDraw or
LDLite) to the run-length encoded (RLE) format. If you are using LDLite
as the image-generating tool, this option will reduce the size of the
VEC directory by an order of magnitude. If you are using LDraw to
produce VEC images, using the compression option won't save as much
space.
If you are using LDLite as the image-generator, Compression is strongly
recommended. The VEC runs much faster with smaller images.

| I just decided to update my LDAO, and ran into almost the exact same problems, I _can_ generate the images for the VEC, but I can't display them. It's the oddest behaviour: When I open the catalogue, it's like almost all of the images is invisible, (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)
