Re: PIL + show() + Vista

Hi, Tim!

You are right, for shimgvw.dll (on XP / 2000, or some Vista). But others Vista (ou users practice) had associate images with WindowsPhotoGallery.exe.

But shimgvw.dll already exist.

I found that this line:

command = 'start "%s" /wait %s\\System32\\rundll32.exe %s\\System32\\shimgvw.dll ImageView_Fullscreen %s && del /f "%s" ' % (title,os.environ['SYSTEMROOT'],os.environ['SYSTEMROOT'],file,file)

launch a "Photo Gallery" who respect the WAIT.

For me (and my users), it's a solution. Perhaps others PIL's users can read that with interest.

Have a good day.
