Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the included 3rdparty code CxImage. What is this code used for? From some searches through the source the only reference to this I could find was in Tools/thumbs which seems to be some Windows platform specific project which isn't built. Is this project used and if so, what can it be used for?
cheers,
Johan

The CxImage is only used for a Windows thumbnailer. The utility "ThumbnailProvider" is a DLL which can be registered to Windows as a so called shell extension. This utility is able to create a preview image of an FCStd project file and CxImage is needed to convert the data into a format that Windows expects.
