dzApp->getImageMgr()->getImage("T:/mytextures/tex.jpg")->getImageData(targetQImage);

or some of findImage methods of DzImageMgr?
well, i know the api. unfortunately this all just reads maps from disk again. daz uploads them to ogl and don't keep them in ram. i have asked for a signal during ...

Making application irresponsible doesn't prevent race conditions :) - DS is multithreaded by nature and locking GUI thread doesn't prevent others from working. It's just a sign of programmer being too lazy to make special thread for heavy processing and doing it in main GUI thread instead. Well ...
