TImageEnMView.SaveSnapshot
Declaration
procedure SaveSnapshot(FileName: WideString; SaveCache: Boolean = True; Compressed: Boolean = False; SaveParams: Boolean = False);
procedure SaveSnapshot(Stream: TStream; SaveCache: Boolean = True; Compressed: Boolean = False; SaveParams: Boolean = False);
Description
Saves the image, cache data, text and dimensions of all frames to the specified stream or file.
This can be used to create caching mechanism, like Windows .db files, to load quickly an entire directory of images.
| Value | Description |
| Filename/Stream | Destination for snapshot |
| SaveCache | If enabled (default), the image cache is also saved. This will speed up display but require more disk space |
| Compressed | If enabled, an LZ compression algorithm is used to reduce disk space (though saving will be slower) |
| SaveParams | Enable to save the input/output parameters for all images |
