Bitmap builder fails with loading BITMAP embedded images (works with a file.bmp)

[eugenesvk]

Your suggeston from #185 to use IMAGE works, but it's still weird that I can load the same file standalone, but not when embedded

A modified tray app example with embedded bmp image is here

(using your repo's bmp file so it shouldn't be format issues)

This might be because you're using an older version of embed-resource crate, try using the latest version (v2.4). It definitely worked for me with the latest version when I tried it last month.

[eugenesvk]

Didn't help, updated the example to v2.4

Do you mean your wsl-usb-manager? I doesn't seem to have a Bitmap builder, but an icon from the embedded string

Or is there a different working example you could point to?

[nickbeth]

During the development of wsl-usb-manager I tried displaying a bitmap as the image of a tray notification, and I was able to retrieve the app icon BMP from the resource manifest. I scrapped that feature in the end, so there is no code example I can show you sadly.
