Because i did some units, the problem is that they have problems in game, actually it crashes, there is nothing wrong in unit wml, they say the problem is that photoshop make some kind of metadata in png files, and that metadata make problems in windows wesnoth version, they sugested me to resave my images whit another program so i am traing JDraw, is it good?? And does anybody else have a problem like mine??

Photoshop saves excessively large PNG files, but i've never heard of them making the game crash.
Photoshop usually comes with ImageReady, which will save lean and metadata-less PNG files.
I don't know anything about JDraw.
Feel free to PM me if you start a new terrain oriented thread. It's easy for me to miss them among all the other art threads.

That was what caused the mysterious dialogue crashes in UtBS around 1.1.2.
