Garbled images, second post

[Willie Wheeler <ww...@andrew.cmu.edu>]

Hi all,

	I'm asking the question again since I've not heard an answer, since it's a
big deal, and someone on the Cocoon list is having the same experience with
Ant-garbled images.  Problem: Ant trashes the images when you build a web
app target.  Changes the file size, and when you try to view them in a
browser you get garbage.  Does anybody know what's happening?

	Thanks,
	Willie

Yes, I'm afraid you are right. filtering can and probably will break
binary files.

Seems like you'd need to copydir tasks with complementary sets of
patterns then.

Hi Stefan,

	Thanks, but I think that I know what the problem is.  (Someone
explained on the Cocoon list.)  Filtering must be set to "off" when
copying binaries during a build.  I guess that filtering=on is line by
line, whereas filtering=off is byte by byte--at least that's how the story
went!

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you unless you give us some more
details. What is Ant supposed to do with your images? Which operation
garbles them? Copying? Storing them in a ZIP file?
