Tasking (Background tasks)?

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Kevin,

I have a plugin which creates thumbnail images of folders of image 
files. This can take quite some time, so I have a setting checkBox

'Load images in background'

which let's me do other things as well. It's called altImgViewr and is 
part of the altToolbar suite. You can of course view the source code if 
you like to see how it's done...but basically it's just like Brian 
mentioned earlier: use the 'send messages' command.

You can download the plugin at:

best,

Chipp
