Hi Peter,
could be LOAD BMP/PNG... be extended for LOAD RAW file$, address , where will be raw binary data loaded? And the same for SAVE RAW file$, address, length?
Also page numbers parameter for standard SAVE and LOAD will be nice LOAD BMP x, y[,page] and SAVE IMAGE file$[,x,y,w,h,page]...

For the LOAD, why not just open & read the file?

And for SAVE, open & write file?

Because of speed. It's faster LOAD and SAVE chunk of memory in one big block then character access...

And why the page parameter? I have now stored part of screen and need to save it as image, but to do it, I need to move it to PAGE 0 (and disturb current display), save it and return back...

How much faster? The SD card is slow whether from C or Basic.

I'm wondering why you want to use Peter's precious time this way!

It was just an idea, because it can be used many different ways and because already saving is there and command can be extended and make it sense.
I have no problem, when Peter says NO. Right now I'm doing it with OPEN/PRINT#/CLOSE, but it's no optimal. Anyway can be written CSUB for it.

You can already do this using input$() and longstrings

Question: If you do this:

PAGE WRITE 1
LOAD PNG "pic.png" (or something to that effect)

Does it NOT load into page 1? I thought it would have. It would seem strange to have to load Sprite/Bitmap sheets always onto the display page (0) and copy them into another page. Then load the next one. Or maybe there is another way of doing that -- I'm still becoming familiar with the manual and all of the commands. I don't mind specifying the page write first, but if load always goes to page 0, then I would also support a "page" parameter on the load command.

Yes, the LOAD can be solved this way, but with SAVE it's worse...
