Hi Ross and all
I’ve been messing with Thumbs.db files a bit lately and not all of them have that Catalog object. E.g. the file attached. Perhaps different versions of Windows produce different flavours of thumbs??
In these ones, the image objects have names that look a bit like GUIDs rather than incrementing integers.
An alternative strategy for a container signature might be to look for the JFIF signature in the image objects. In all the thumbs files I’ve dug into this seems to start at either offset 12 or offset 24. You can tell by looking at the first four bytes in the file. This is an unsigned int that will represent either of those two offsets (i.e. x000000c0 or x00000018).
Cheers
Richard
