Currently, I am working on a Projection Engine. It is for creating
customisable visual displays for clubs and shows...basically a database
stores the images at a given size (for now, they have to be at the right
size already, but I am thinking of doing in-App scaling) and then allows the
user to build sequences of images. The sequence data is then stored in a
second DB, and when one of these is loaded, it displays the images according
to the chosen pattern/sequence.
The import goes through the following steps:
Find path
Import File into Director Member (using FileName of Member)
Set Variable = Picture of Member
Create Thumbnail as scaled version of data in Variable
Put Image and Thumb into DB
It is painfully slow for even moderate numbers of images (300+)...I think
that binding the picture of a member to the field in the DB, and using that
to create the thumb would be MUCH faster...

> 2) If QT present then it can be used.
Excellent !
Elias.
FWIW: When I was using V4RB, I was working on something similar to what
Jonathan seems to be doing...also for a Photo Archive (of sorts) and many of
the same issues came up there...
