Currently there's no way to do this because there isn't any method set up for a script to obtain the pixel width and height of the viewport.

But I've added viewport.pixelWidth and viewport.pixelheight properties in for the next v3 beta to make that possible then.

Hi shayne,

Yup, here's a script that will do that:

script:var img = moi.view.screenshot( 'viewpanel', false ); var filename = moi.geometryDatabase.currentFileName; if ( filename != '' ) { img.save( filename.substring(0,filename.length-3) + 'jpg' ); }

Note that it will just overwrite any existing .jpg of that same name, and it will put it in the same folder as the 3DM file.

It's been on the wishlist for a while, but unfortunately just saving the thumbnail itself is only one piece of the puzzle, I also have to write a couple of different "shell extension" in order to make it possible for the operating system to access the thumbnail as well, by default just storing a thumbnail somewhere inside of a file does not automatically make it visible all on its own.

There's enough fiddling around with doing those that it's been hard to prioritize that work so far.

That would be awesome ! It would be so useful :)

Yes we understand you are pretty busy , just a wish
thanks for the above script, at least now when I browse my working folder I can visually see what designs are in there
and open directly from there

Just used it , absolutely fantastic

As an alternative option can this script be run automatically on closing or saving a drawing to create the jpeg

The latest Beta works brilliantly, I think the filleting seems to work a lot better and it seems faster

Many thanks

There isn't really any way currently set up to run scripts at those times, but I guess you could modify the Save.js command script file inside the \commands sub-folder, and paste in that script at the end after the call to moi.geometryDatabase.save().

But that method of saving using the Save command itself will only happen when you do a Ctrl+S or actually click the Save button, not if you close down MoI and save changes at exit time instead.

Now thats brilliant
That saves so many steps tacking it onto the save command
thanks Michael

Hi Michael!

Would it be possible to utilize rhinos thumbnailviewer

to display MOI thumbnails?

I don't think that it would be possible for me to bundle that with the MoI install directly, so I think I'd still need to develop my own separate version as well.
