Known Limitations and Bugs

PowerNailer has several known limitations, but so far no known bugs. Most limitation are caused by limitations in windows itself or the various web browsers.
  • You can't create more than 32767 thumbnails per directory in one run; this is a Windows 95™ limitation which may be resolved in future Windows™ releases, and should not exist in Windows NT™ (Windows NT functionability was not tested with PowerNailer).
  • Browsers don't accept linking to files that contain the "#" character, PowerNailer converts the link name to "%23" in order for the link to function, this however will also appear in the name field. This is only cosmetic, the files are not effected.
  • The scaling routines were not designed to scale up pictures, this means that it is not advisable to use pictures with resolutions that are smaller than the thumbnail size (this causes a division-by-zero error).
  • You can not have two files of the same name with a different extension (for example, "mypic.gif" and "mypic.jpg") in the same picture directory, this will result in only one thumbnail for both images.
  • Image resolutions (within the text box) will appear as 0x0 when the external encoder is used.
