_WIDTH(_LOADIMAGE()) Ok?

[TerryRitchie]

If I were you, I'd assign a LONG variable to _LOADIMAGE result. To load an image only to get its width, it's actually not being "used" according to the Wiki description.

From:

It is important to free unused or discarded images with _FREEIMAGE to prevent CPU memory overflow errors.

Yep, I understand all of that. That's why I'm asking if something like the example is advisable or not.
