Conversion from Vips to System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage

[gil-c]

Hello,

I saw the suggestions in the ticket #57

How about the conversion from Vips to System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage?

Currently I am doing:

var bmImage = new BitmapImage();
bmImage.BeginInit();
bmImage.StreamSource = vipsImage.WriteToStream(".tiff");
bmImage.EndInit();

Is there a better way?

Hi @gil-c,

I've never did anything with WPF, so it needs to be investigated. Perhaps you need also to set

bmImage.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;

to ensure the BitmapImage doesn't try to read a closed stream.

Let's tag this as an enhancement. Very happy to accept a PR of course, if you're able.
