Conduit and Buffer seeking seems lacking

In the interim you might do this -- test stream.conduit for IConduit.Seek and use it directly if so (via seek/read methods)

Did that work for ya, Chris, or did you wind up using DataStream? instead?

I dont understand how to use DataStream? :-( Can you give any example?

Now I think it´s DFL, that it doesnt work... My Code: http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpbguerh DDbg Output: http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpdopwxd Can you take a look at it, Chris? Thanks.

Kris, I was already doing this; I test if the conduit supports Seek (by casting to the interface) and use it. But Buffer does not support it. I don't see how DataStream? is useful, it doesn't support Seek that I can see. WasserDragoon?, this also applies to you; your conduit has to be seekable.

Sorry, DataFileStream?

kris, on my example: i would like to import an image to set picturebox' image with its content...how i should import it with DataFileStream??

i think i got it partiatly...but i get an alert...see http://paste.dprogramming.com/dptgto1q

Sorry, wasserDragon, but that is trying to set the image content as a file-name instead :)

Instead, wrap a Buffer instance around the content, which gives you an InputStream?:

auto input = new Buffer (image);

I tried to read image from a zip file in order to use it in DFL for PictureBox? also.

Here is the code: http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpehui32

I have tried to Buffer it, but it throws an assertion failure.

However, my first try was to use splash_image itself (which is an InpuStream?), it throws "Unable to load picture from stream". Chris suggested this is the same issue mentioned here, so here is my voice to it.

Current workaround is not pretty, I extract and copy image from the zip to a local directory and read it from there.

you might find InputStream?.load() to be useful ... it loads the stream into an array

I recall this was resolved -- closing since there's no further commentary. Reopen as necessary
