Owen,
Some notes on the clickable thumbnails .....
It should work fine on Windows 2000.
On Windows XP, if you can see a thumbnail of an html file in the
thumbnails view in Windows Explorer then it's working. To get it working
on my XP machine I had to :
1. Install and register C:\windows\system32\thumbvw.dll.
2. Add the following registry entries:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@ = "{EAB841A0-9550-11cf-8C16-00805F1408F3}"
I used an approach of writing the html to a file and using the shell
extensions to get a thumbnail of the file. I'd have preferred an approach
of getting images from the InternetExplorerClass - but couldn't get it
working.
The tweaks required to XP are a pain, maybe it's possible to make the
registry tweak at FAT start-up. Not sure about including thumbvw.dll in a
distribution though?
Cheers,
Darren |
