PNG iDOT chunk

After doing some researches, it seems that iDOT has been introduced by Apple, but without documentation, violating the rule of publicness of the iDOT chunk, because according to the naming convention, of the 2nd letter is in capital, the chunk specification must be public: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33894790/what-is-the-idot-chunk

Sorry that I cannot help you more on this topic :x

Thank you for the link, it’s quite helpful, maybe I will have to setup a hackintosh if want to understand how the chunk works. I really can’t stand when big companies goes against public specification, just like they were above everything.

When they don’t go against specifications, they put their employees in the ISO committees to create the standard that will fit the company x)

As far as I know, iDOT isn’t specified in the ISO, and is not documented. Apple named it like if it was, without anyone from the ISO comity approving. I am not sure about it, but it is what most of the things I have read so far tells, and I won’t pay for the ISO document, so…

I’ll continue to make some research. If you find anything interesting, post it here :)

Apple has a reputation for developing proprietary hardware and software. It is the main reason that I don’t buy their products.

Hello Swift coders

Actually, my name (Darwin) is already an Apple’s OS. snif

Found this fact when I was searching a name for my OS ( DarwinOS was so cool :D )

That sentence itself is cool. Are you working on homemade OS from the ground? That seems quite a lot of work…

Trying to* but yes I was a Windows user (And I still use it for some case don’t judge me)

And after 10 months learning how OS works how can it be done and at the same time I actually get my C# knowledge.

So, for now, the OS is on “”“"standby”“”“, the kernel isn’t finished at all yet, I was busy and I have some works to do first, sorry I have nothing to share with you, but if one day I publish it. I will share it with you guys for sure ! <3

@DIDIx13 That sounds cool. I’d be very interested in that.

Here’s another page talking about it for a different reason: https://www.landaire.net/post/apple-imageio-denial-of-service/

Best bet seems to be to examine that ImageIO handler a bit closer.

Thanks @dloser !! @WHGhost it looks like what you were looking for ^^

Yes, it seems to be very interesting, thank you guys!
