Good evening:
Does anyone know what I need to provide to get my application to
support and
present thumb nail images instead of just a standard file icon.
cocoa-OSX of
course. Where do those come from anyway?
My question is just where I can find some documentation.
I have gone back through all the documentation and can't seem to find
any
clues.
NSImage *theFileIcon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:
@"/path/to/file"];
[myImageViewOutlet setImage: theFileIcon];
Oh wait-- I just reread your message and I'm not sure this is what you
are after. The method above will show the appropriate icon for whatever
file type it is, but I don't think it "previews" the file. However some
file types show a preview. I don't know maybe I shouldn't be answering
:-)
