[Vstudio] pictures added. More ideas?

[Ruslan Zasukhin]

Hi Jochen,

Igor and Andrey last 3 days have made big progress in Vstudio.

Monday:

    they have close about 10 issues

Tuesday 

    they have start develop support of pictures of VStudio

Wednesday

    Pictures now work on Windows.
    fixed some bugs in inspector related to filed type and its change.


-------------
Please update from CVS and try build WIN version.
Then you can use V4RB or V4MD Examples/API/Field_Picture to generate db with
pictures.

* to test just open this db in Vstudio
* go to browser

* you should see in browser something as <image 128x354> for Picture fields.
    
* in the menu Record you can choose "view pictures" then you will see
preview of pictures for each row. It is possible change height of rows.

* double click on Cell of Picture field, open Picture Editor.
    you can export/import/clear picture of current record.

 
-----------------------------------------------
You need self correct 2 functions in vs_Field2
to read/write pictures on MAC.
-----------------------------------------------

Tomorrow guys will try add next features:

* contextual menu of cells of picture field.

* tool tip on column header of databrowser to show info about field type and
flags. Just for comfort.

* Drag and Drop of pictures from disk into cell of DataBrowser

* Ability to show ALL picture fields of *current* record in the Property
Inspector (will looks as slide show do -- one or more pictures by vertical).
 User can close/open group "pictures" as he can do for other groups of
Inspector.

* Also we going provide way to LOAD and save picture AS IS without
decompression/compression. Engine can do this, task add support of this in
Vstudio.
