I managed to create a dll with that function, and it seems to correctly create the !pow_tmp.bmp file in powerpro directory, but powerpro gives an error --------------------------- PowerPro Configuration --------------------------- Cannot process jpeg file C:\Wallpaper\05.twp2.friday_wide.JPG --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Also, what is the temp path in that function call for? I don't see why I would need it? Here's the project, debug and release builds included: http://www.datenschleuder.eu/download.php?file=506stil32jp.rar If anyone could look into it, would be cool, because this seems like the cleanest solution (rather than writing a script for it)
