ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / TD4 Squeezer Tool
« on: 2017-04-21 02:34:41 »
Being hit by the Access database 2 GByte limit, I am doing a TD4 squeezer Tool. (Which I of course will share when it's ready and which supposedly also can be mofified to support tpdb8 files.)
The goal is to have the user collect would-be "old" thumbnails in a Gallery and then run the Squeezer that will reduce the space by applying an extremely strong JPEG compression on the selected thumbnail pictures. Same would be displayed a lot less nice in thumbnail view, but could be recreated by just hitting F3.
Maye this is not possible, then the tool will either remove the selected thumbnail pictures or replace them by some very small default picture.
My program already can access the database and find and load the data of the selected thumnail picture information.
Now I found that this information is not a full JPF file content, but supposedly just the pixel information without the JPEG header. This information supposedly is given in some other fields of the thumbnail record.
Does anybody know a definition of this information, so that I can manage it ?
Thanks,
-Michael
