    Default An easy method to generate (a lot of) thumbnails?

    I hope opening this topic back up in a different way is okay, as I didn’t expect this dilemma.
    In acquiring many object library bgl files (ezoliv33.zip and rwy12_1.zip); I am now faced with thumbnail generation for these. I’m aware of the screenshot method in ADE, and I was taught another (very cool ) way to do this-en mass from a single bgl file using MCX. Both of these methods work well, but will require a lot of time-considering the number of bgls/objects in question. Of course, the perfect world would have delivered unto me, an en mass grande method for all these bgls., but…
    So, my question now is: am I at the point now where obtaining thumbs for all these bgls are either 1) create them with one of the methods above, or 2) find out if someone has already done it, and offer my first born for them?
    With much thanks, in advance.

    I'm not sure i understand the question but if you haven't got the time to do thumbnails yourself, PM me and tell me how to do it for you, and i'll have a shot at it. I'm retired, and retirement is the world's longest coffee break with all the time in the world..

    LOL - Well, thank you kind Sir! That is a most gracious offer! I’m sorry if this post is a little vague. I was hoping to clarify the issue from my other post, “To my wife-My thumbs aint-working…”, which probably was not the best thing to do. Anyhow, the desire for me here is to find a way, for the good of humanity, to easily create thumbnails from the very large collection of bgl files that accompany the two downloads mentioned, above. I use Airport Design Editor and well, the thumbs just aren’t there for that-specifically.
    I appreciate your offer, truly, but I feel a duty to be true to the FS experience, and all that it implies-even if it means battling the tedious, redundant, side-tracking dilemmas that deter from my goals (um, to a point). However, for now I am simply hoping for a better way to get the thumbs (than the options I have come to know). I’m exploring a “macro” idea, presently (over on “My thumbs aint-working”, sorry). There may be something, to that, there…
    By the way, ScatterbrainKid -congratulations on your retirement! I have time and coffee, too!
    Thanks again, sincerely
