Hi PRiSMiWi

I don't know the answer but I'll try to help anyway:

The thumbs.db file is created automatically by the operating system when selecting the thumbnail view.

it takes all the pictures in a folder and shows there thumbs...

If I had to do this I would check how to change the view and then I'll get the file - I don't know what you plan to do with the file but if you are after thumb pictures I don't think this is the way - There are many people who wrote code for who to create thumb pictures.

Good luck

I think he wants to make his desired image format or file format having a thumbnail view in Window Explore. Like mwv and photoshop layered file both have thumbnail on Window Explore. IMO, you should be able to make your own thumbnail generater and link it to a file type, thus the thumb image will feed to thumb.db. Just guessing. I have no idea how to do this as well.
