Writing thumbnails

[Abs]

Hi!

I'd like to generate something similar to the "Thumbs.db" windows file
for my thumbnail browser app. I don't know the exact structure of this
file but I think is a little database of jpeg thumbnails, so Windows
Explorer doesn't have to rebuild thumbnails from images everytime a
folder is visited. Can anything similar to this be done in java ?


regards

Yes, but I can't give you the code because it is proprietary. This is
a project I am currently working on. If you want to have a look see

There is a demo program at the SUN site that makes
thumbnails using java only. I forget the name but
you can search.

you use drawImage to a BufferedImage using scaling, then save the
thumbnail as a file.
