I think it should be re-added again, I think it is always a good idea to try to retain backwards compatibility as much as possible. It might not be much effort to replace all bmps in code with png's or something like that, but if you have a game that's already released for which you would want to release an update, you should now also deliver new graphics to the customers, whereas this wouldn't be necessary if you would have backwards-compatible rle support, if you had used such files. So if it isn't too much trouble, please do.

I'd have to agree with jasjenl. Although I won't touch BMPs with a 10 foot pole, a good number of developers still like to use them.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll re-add RLE-BMP this weekend and release 1.03 on Monday. Please report back all issues you can find until then.
