Explorer get thumbnail image very fast, how does it work?
I am using explorer to view the image in thumbnail view. Very quickly get a thumbnail of each image (bmp, jpg).
I am using the following code to create thumbnails for each image. however, it is much slower than conductor. How can I write a piece of code to generate sketches as fast as system and accurate (the sketch generated by the following code sometimes has a black bar on top and bottom or left and right, I don't know why ...). Or can I declare the explorer API for sketching using its function?
Bitmap sourceImg(xxx);
int nSize = sourceImg.GetPropertyItemSize(PropertyTagThumbnailData);
if(nSize > 0)
{
PropertyItem * pItem = (PropertyItem*)malloc(nSize);
if (pItem != NULL)
{
sourceImg.GetPropertyItem(PropertyTagThumbnailData, nSize, pItem);
}
GenerateThumbnail from pItem.....
}

Explorer is probably using Exif inline jpg thumbnail.
Take a look at a simple Exif Image Viewer to confirm that the images you are using contain an embedded thumbnail.

For me, Explorer creates thumbnails painfully slow. My own code is much faster for sketching. The problem I am facing is that FindFirst / FindNext are slow compared to Explorer because it uses the "file object" system instead of the "file name" system. I would like to find a quick code to get the filenames in directories.
