Hey guys, this is going to seem like an easy to answer question but I would like to know how the Project Browser in 6.0 generates a thumbnail of the controls in a stack, for example all buttons in a stack have a thumbnail generated which even has the details of the visual style currently used by Windows shown. I know there is an Export Snapshot command and I tried that but that seems to require a file path to store the image which seems like it would waste an awful lot of space and would probably be rather inefficient for people who use SSDs and what not.

So yeah, how can I do something like that without wasting storage space?

See the Release Notes for v6.0.1, the section on the new "at size" option for the export/import snapshot commands (page 12), e.g.:

import snapshot from cd 1 at size 100,100
