Re: Why is it that png files are not dependable over the long haul

Yeah, but, for the sake of your images, I'd consider writing them back out
into some stable, standard format.

- If this option keeps the write window as the default, you should
theoretically just read then write them, and your images will be fixed.
- If not the above, then maybe you can somehow tweak the reading window to
be the size you need and the output window to be the default size with the
help of this list.
- If not the above, then encode and save the raw bytes, revert the hack,
and then re-read the raw bytes, decode, and write them as once-again happy,
conformant PNGs.
