Yes James, I get your overemphasised point and acknowledged my
misunderstanding, with my reply to your earlier post in this thread.
However, this does not explain why OOo registers ".thm" as a file
association. (see my earlier post)
Someone asked this in 2005:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42782
and was brushed off (no pun intended).
I suspect that it is to maintain compatibility with MS Office and MS OS
file registry associations and to ease importing gallery thumbnails from
MS sources & other sources.
If you have a look at the link I provided in my other post in this thread:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/file_extensions.html
you'll see many common file xtension names in the OOo source code that
are common to MS: .ttf, .wav, .wmf, etc, .bmp, .bat, etc.
It's also probably why Canon, Sony & others use the .thm xtension to
save their thumbnail files w/EXIF info.
Ping KAMI; I'd bet he'd know the detailed answer as his project has
extensive extended galleries for OOo. It would also be interesting to
know if perhaps one could actually put the Canon .thm thumbnails into
the OOo gallery and have them show up and be usable.
Hmmm... I might give that a try; now where did my son hide my old Canon
A75...
Canon thm files might have different fortmat. So this is not possible.
Also OpenOffice.org gallery themes divided into three type of files.
