Re: JavE3.0: beta testers wanted

One more thing... I was playing around with the camelizer and accidentally
chose an animated gif. And the ASCII art animated! No, it didn't, but JavE
acted quite strangely for a while, by which I mean to say that it didn't do
anything at all. It froze for half a minute (or something) and then it went
back to normal.
  I noted that the resulting camelized picture was rather large and that it
was impossible to scroll in JavE since the camelizer dialog is modal. This
does make sense, but I still found it a bit irritating that I couldn't see
the entire picture.
  I then played around with the brightness settings and noticed that
between -1.0 and -0.7, the camelization was nearly instantaneous. However,
at high settings, the image grew large (and unscrollable), in which case the
camelization was slow. I concluded that the long response time I had
experienced earlier might be a result of the amount of white space in the
animated gif, and not at all the fact that the gif was animated.
  My next step was to try loading a very bright picture; a blue-pencil
sketch on white paper. JavE hasn't spoken to me since. I started writing
this when it froze, and it's still frozen. I have a feeling that the
complexity of the camelizer algorithm is at least exponential... Maybe JavE
should issue a warning if the user is dumb enough to try a very bright
picture?
