Yup. Both of those options were bad enough that I found a really janky [0] workaround to buy me the time in which to rewrite the entire image generation stack.

Yup. Both of those options were bad enough that I found a really janky [0] workaround to buy me the time in which to rewrite the entire image generation stack.
