ImageIOLibraryPrefs is a preferences program for imageio.library.

After running ImageIOLibraryPrefs, you can use the GUI to control specific
features of imageio.library.

The first option "Allow decoding" permits imageio.library to decode
single part uuencoded files or base64 encoded files such as those retrieved
from an NNTP news server and treat them as normal files. Loading times are
slightly longer for files that need to be decoded as the files must be
decoded before being loaded.

Using the remaining check boxes, you can dis/enable the internal loading
options of imageio.library. For exmaple if you have a PPC or prefer to
load jpeg files with a datatype, you can disable the internal jpeg.library
support of imageio.library. This means that instead of using jpeg.library
to load jpeg files, imageio.library will fall through to datatype support
to load that file format.


NOTE: You may notice that due to GIF distribution restrictions, there is
no built in support for the GIF file format.
