TIFF files & SC...

[coltom]

I've been testing my SC install with jpegs but now discover that the files being generated (on a PC), and that I'd like the users to be able to drag and drop into a SC window, are all TIFFs. SC doesn't give me a thumbnail image using SCGetContainer but will store and allow viewing of the RawData file. Is there a way for SC to create a thumbnail from a TIFF?

The preview rendering is done by the server OS. SC will render previews of TIFF files if running as a standalone server on Mac OS X as it can then access the proper parts of the OS. See here: http://360works.com/plugins/SuperContainer/documentation.html#section17

So no go if SC running as webapp in Tomcat on a Server 2008 machine.....
