Re: E255 on sign command

Hi,

I made the patch for graphical file loading in MacVim, the
implementation rely directly in Cocoa for image loading, and I don't
think xpm is supported by cocoa. You may try to convert your xpm files
to png files which would load without any problem. GVim win32 (not the
cygwin one) doesn't support .xpm either, it only support .ico files,
so the xpm file format is not ubiquitous for graphical sign loading.

Sorry, I didn't update the documentation files which might have
mislead you

Regards

Vincent B.
