Loading images

I know I saw something somewhere about the specifics of the bmp files that can be loaded, but I can't for the life of me find that info again.

What are the restrictions on the file? What's the default location they should be found in if just specifying a file name?

The file is loaded by the Windows LoadImage API - so anything that supports will be handled.

A series of tests seems to show that any .BMP file saved without the "flip row order" toggle set (in Photoshop) should load OK.

I had one file a while ago that wouldn't load, however resaving it with Irfanview (a free image manipulation program) fixed the problem.
