fenris Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Does any one have any information on creating these files - particularly the file format? I am in the process of creating an image management program and I would like to create thumbnails of the photos to speed up photo browsing. My first thought was to create thumbnails and place them in a subfolder of the photo folder. This idea is reasonable but I was thinking there has to be a better way. Then it hit me, why not use the mechanism that windows 2000 and XP use to create thumbnails. Ultimately I am looking for information on creating these files without the aid of windows so that older O/S' can create these files. Any ideas? Quote
jspencer Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 The only starting point that I could find was: "You can extract thumbnails by calling IShellFolder::GetUIObjectOf to obtain an IExtractImage interface for each item you are interested in. But unfortunately you don't get a free ride on the shell's thumbnail cache." Quote
