1) Help me to collect a database about thumbs.db versions - in what version OS with what SP what version thumbs.db is used. The version is specified in the left bottom corner of a lister window.

2) Concerning use thumbs.db content in "Thumbnail mode" Ghisler has told:

I'm not using thumbs.db because it's undocumented and may change with future versions of Windows, or even with the next service pack.

I can add this functionality in my plugin. Is it necessary for someone?

Windows Vista does not use thumbs.db. Instead it makes some .db files in c:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\.
It goes like:

Code: Select all

thumbcache_32.db
thumbcache_96.db
thumbcache_256.db
thumbcache_1024.db
thumbcache_idx.db
thumbcache_sr.db

Do you have any interest in supporting that also? Thanks.

How exactly the version can be seen? All I got in the corner is the filename of the cached db.

Dec,
Thank you!

Would you consider adding support for TC's own thumbnail cache, and also perhaps ACDSee's?

TIA
Roman

If Ghisler will explain a principle of coding of thumbnails I with pleasure will add this format.

Hacker wrote:and also perhaps ACDSee's?

ACDSee's thumbnail cache format is VERY DIFFICULT to reverse engineering.
