AgenSmith, I agree with your opinion 100%. You should read #25 from Bikermouse, the explanation probably lies in that z.bmp. The other fact that enforce my opinion is that I carrefuly studies severall .brX files (about a dozen), including the one from EricofSD - yes, I did - and nowhere could I find something looking like a picture chunk or datas. You can even find ascii codes in a Bryce file like Mat_eRefrac, Mat_eBum, brycefamse and even in an .obp file the term "preview". So why should some chunks be ascci coded and others not when in some Bryce files you find the obvious preview indication ? Conclusion no thumb in a .brX file and I will work with .bmp as thumbnails, even if they appera to be white. btw I would like to get one of those white bitmaps at yarp@senosoft.com. I can add a filter in a plugin to automatically remove white bitmaps. btw Another idea. I also intend to automatically replace those bitmaps with custom bitmaps (I was thinking about .png) to avoid Bryce erasing the .bmp. What do you think of the idea ? I would extend the feature to Poser .pz3 and some other thumbnailless files.
