I discovered an unexpected effect while testing this, which is that when saving out pages of thumbnails as sprites any directory/archive icons
visible in the thumbnail turn psychedelic (concentric rainbow circles!)
I don't remember this previously, but I don't use Viewer->Save as
sprite often enough to be sure. Can anyone else confirm?
Viewer->Save as Draw seems to be fine.

Here on VRPC-DL RISC OS 6.20 I don't have any problem with the thumbnail output as Sprite.
The sub directory displays in the Sprite thumbs correctly.
However, on RPCEmu 0.9.4 and RISC OS 5.29 as you note, the thumbnail
output in Sprite form has the concentric rainbow circles.
It happens on earlier versions of Thump as well.
If you go in to the resources (open iconbar Apps and right click the
close icon to go up) the directory sprite in wimp sprites shows a
very similar effect when selected. Paint shows the sprite is 256
colour with a 'full palette'. Is Thump getting confused over the
sprite type?

The directory sprite in 6.20 is 256 colours but no Palette and Dave
mentioned that it is OK.

16-colour Mode 20 sprite with palette for me, and when I highlight it in
the Paint window it goes orange. :-)

Sorry - I was assuming that everyone using modern hardware, OS etc
would be using the !Sprites22 files rather than !Sprites. The OS
chooses which ones to use.
My OS (on a computer less than a year old) doesn't have a Sprites22
file in Resources... presumably because a Mode 20 file *is*
square-pixel as opposed to the old desktop sprites?

Yes... I've just checked my 5.29 install, 16 bloomin' colours...
Why?

Sorry,
Sorry I only tested viewer->save as Draw.
Indeed Viewer->Save as sprite works incorrectly with system icons.
Yes, (01/02/2022)ARMX6/RISC OS 5.29 again?

I sent a bug report to Christopher Martin with a summary of reported
results - the problem seems to affect RISC OS 5 versions.

I looked at the old system sprites, they are all in mode 20 with a
palette.
The Sprite output file is in 16M colors, it may be a conversion problem.
I just found another bug, in viewer->save as draw, if the directory
contains an archive/Zip directory, the icon is not exported, the file name
is present.
