An image manager tool previously developed for imgui I would like to submit to the imgui wiki:

HImGuiImageManager is a powerful C++ library for Dear ImGui, designed to streamline image loading, display, and management. It supports loading images from files, memory, or URLs, with built-in GIF animation support, image buttons, and custom drawing capabilities. Perfect for creating dynamic and visually rich ImGui interfaces.

Screenshots/Video:

Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example code:

	HImage* image = 0;
	HImageManager::ImageLoader::GetImage_gif("Logo.gif", image, 1500, 1.5, [](uint8_t* data, int w, int h, char fmt) -> void* {
		static GLFWimage tex;
		tex.pixels = data;
		tex.height = h;
		tex.width = w;
		glfwSetWindowIcon(Windows, 1, &tex);
		return (void*)0; }, [](void*) {});

I think it would be worth investigating how this can fit within the upcoming #8465 paradigm of allowing backends to create/destroy textures, to remove the requirement for a macros. It may need rework of the WIP branch.

Btw it feels like this shouldn't be a library specific to imgui, it is basically a texture loader and cache and could be used elsewhere.
The only imgui code in there seems to be the loading fallback (rendering a filled rect + animated loading).

Yes, you are right. This is actually a universal texture loader. It just happens to mention ImGui a little bit.
The origin of this project is that last year many of my friends asked me how to load images in ImGui. I thought, why don’t I make an image manager and manage everything by myself? Then I made this project. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to write MD, so I put it in my warehouse and never finished it until I used AI to help me write MD files some time ago.
