[Geomoose-users] Unsupported output format (image/png;bits=8)

[Robert R. Raiz]

For me it isn't, as I use a lot of tiff files, icons and images in general.
Using the param in the mapbook, it overwrites the OUTPUTFORMAT in the map
file (thus the error stated in the topic title);
After I removed this param, I can use one, more or zero OUTPUTFORMATS in
the mapfile and it works quite well.

Maybe it is useful when you only have to render vector data ?! it could
render the features faster if it uses an 8bit value..I'm just thinking out
loud, I could be talking non-sense.
