<p dir="auto">How do I set a name for an image sent to the picture viewer? This bit here:</p>

<p dir="auto">I tried setting the bitmap data like this:</p>
<pre><code>bmp-&gt;SetData(BASEBITMAP_DATA_NAME,"My name");
ShowBitmap(bmp);
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">but it does nothing.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thank you for pointing it out. There was a problem with how the CSS of the plugin providing the solved feature, the forum CSS, and our styling CSS did mesh in the light skin. I fixed it by putting even more CSS on top of things - because who doesn't love a solid mess in the CSS <img src="http://developers.maxon.net/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61b.png?v=0b8ddba251d" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--stuck_out_tongue" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":P" alt="😛" /></p>
<p dir="auto">PS: I am aware that the search feature could also still use some work under the dark skin. It is just not the highest priority when things are ugly but readable.</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers,<br />

<p dir="auto">I seem to have something working with the lib_pictureviewer.h library. Thanks for this. Maybe in future the standard ShowBitmap() could have a default empty string argument with it. Just a thought.</p>

<p dir="auto">thank you for reaching out to us. I noticed this too a while ago, and there is a ticket for that in the SDK task pool. It, however, has low priority.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ShowBitmap</code> has a backend implementation of the same name which takes in a string to name the bitmap.</li>
<li>The backend ignores all bitmap metadata and the frontend version of <code>ShowBitmap</code> does not support the name argument.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">There is also the file <code>lib_pictureviewer.h</code> in <code>frameworks/cinema.framework/source/c4d_libs/</code> which deliberately has been hidden from the C++ documentation. It contains an interface for the picture viewer which provides more control, including displaying a bitmap with a user chosen name, <code>PictureViewer::ShowImage</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">So, you will not find this file in our online- or offline documentation, and instead must read the header file yourself. I frankly have no clue why that file has been hidden in the first place. Long story short, tread with care here, <code>lib_pictureviewer.h</code> is not officially supported. But I do not see what here should be going wrong for you as this interface just wraps an internal interface which is used all the time by us. And I also know of quite a few third parties using this (semi) public interface.</p>
<p dir="auto">PS: I gave the <code>ShowBitmap</code> task a little nudge by adding this topic as a ressource, but it is still low priority, so it might take a while before we get to it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers,<br />
Ferdinand</p>
