  • WMF Pictures

    From PaulRS@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 22 18:02:54 2016
    I own PMView Pro 3.51 which I use often. However, I have a need to
    also see *.WMF pictures.
    (1) Does anyone know if PMView has been upgraded to do this?
    (2) If not, does anyone know of an OS2 graphics view program that
    will also view *.WMF pictures?

    You can upgrade the registered version, albeit newer versions may be
    less stable (sometimes a 100% CPU load, IIRC) than yours. Or more
    stable.

    The obvious http://www.pmview.com, a.o. its What's new-section.

    (2) program that will also view *.WMF pictures?

    PMView won't, AFAICT. WinOS/2-software and/or converters and/or
    receiving already converted images may be a better and an easier
    route. It looks like NConvert also won't convert all bloody Microsoft
    file formats.

    The obvious http://hobbes.nmsu.edu returns a few hits if you would
    have searched for WMF over there...

    Not in 3.78

    Apache OpenOffice Draw (4.1.2)

    Thankyou! For the idea of a direction to go . . .

    I found out that DRAW in OpenOffice3.2 works for what I want. I like
    the thumbnails of PMView. In OO Draw, I can go to INSERT and in a
    directory in "Preview" mode go through the WMF files and see what they
    look like without loading each one. This helps - thanks
    Paul

    Oops, should have ignored the OP. I didn't, so now I'll have to
    mention that ...

    albeit newer versions may be less stable

    ... the Open-dialog, with its thumbnails, is the buggy bit. A 100% CPU
    load can be "solved" by shutting down PMView and by opening the same
    directory again.
