(eg a 512x512 "setup" thumbaniled to 128x128 0 when you browse the "preview" will show not the stored thumb but the full dynamic layout that was used to generate the thumb - with all animations etc.intact) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
