If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
that. But try this Mark and you will see what I was rambling about. Just
set up script to copy those images for a days receipt to a folder off your
drive. Then select each one. Of course you must be using Web View which is
the default view for Microsoft's operating systems. You will notice many of
them are mis-extension-named for what the images really are, are gif, jpg,
or png and they will not appear in Web View as a preview..
The png ones will cause the behavior that I mentioned below. The will
usually be mis-extension-named jpg or gif but they are in fact png. Windows
Explorer will allocate memory to the image and "hang." You can see this by
selecting another image that you know appears in Web View and the image
preview will not appear. This is because Windows Explorer is still running
to get the image previewof that previous mis-extension-named image file.
This is a security threat. I do not know if this will happen on all
machines because I do not update with every security fix Microsoft comes out
with. Rather than telling me something about my decision that I already
know please accept that I have not installed that GDI fix that Microsoft
came out with and I am wondering if that fix works to avoid the issue that I
am talking about.
