I need a _Super fast_ thumbnail generator for an application that is beeing worked on.
The component should work with a C# 2.0 application, but can be made in either C#2.0 or C++ for enhanced speed performance.
The solution should be build as a control for VS 2003/2005 for use with multiple applications in the future.
Generally this application should be able to generate thumbnails of images from a defined folder and by option any subfolders. The thumbnails should then be stored in a combined file ([login to view URL]) in the same directory as where the image is stored in.
If there are multiple images the folder they should all be stored in the [login to view URL] file.
creation of images should be done by threads so the component dosnt hang in the process of thumbnail generation and should further be able to run multiple times so more than one folder can be initiated at a time.
a future option should be a status control to show the progress of the folder beeing thumbnailed and further how many files there are left. It should also be possible to cancel that specific process without killing the application.
there should be an option to set the size of the thumbnails either by height or by width.
the coder should be an experienced developer with some history at RAC and above 8 in rating.
