Re: [Q] Re: Version of image-mode.el which doesn't use format-alist

I can put those functions back in, although I have no idea whether it will work correctly (presumably image-decode would end up being called twice; once via format-alist, and once from image-mode). A better fix might be for image-mode-install to just remove the entries from format-alist; IIRC, the consensus was that they shouldn't have been there in the first place.
