      Added in the zip the stand alone utility T-Magnifier.
      You can see better the selected picture that you study and/or edit.
      This is the v.0, next I will add the Extract button about the current picture.
      This trick requires SU 8, English or Italian languages
      (skp2jpg.exe extracts actually only all the files of the SKP)
      NOTE: not checked with SU version 8 Pro.

        another FIX in vers 0.0.8a http://www.imitidicthulhu.it/skp2jpg.zip

        case : missing path, jpg file found in SU RootDir(?)
        no slashes found, possible prefix to filename (at end of SU file block) = &FF &FE [&??] [&??]
        it seems working, anyway a possible error involves only the exact filename...

          Yea - occasionally texture filenames doesn't have a path. The ones that bundle with SU never does.

            yes, this is now the way that I use to find the pointer of the jpg end.

            
            DefStr endj
            DefStr endjH
            endj="."+chr$(0)+"j"+chr$(0)+"p"+chr$(0)+"g"+chr$(0)
            endjH="."+chr$(0)+"J"+chr$(0)+"P"+chr$(0)+"G"+chr$(0)
            DefStr slash1$ ; slash1$=chr$(0)+"/"+chr$(0)
            DefStr slash2$ ; slash2$=chr$(0)+"\"+chr$(0)
            DefStr slash3$ ; slash3$=chr$(&hFF)+chr$(&hFE)
            

            then, looping block of 200 bytes, then, if the block has endj or endjH then, looping in the block

            
                hh$=File.ReadBinStr(1) ; rd=rd+1
                File1.WriteBinStr(hh$,1)
                if hh$="." then
                  DoEvents
                  npo=File.position
                  hh$=File.ReadBinStr(6) ; File.Seek(File.Position-6,0)
                  chh=REPLACESUBSTR$(hh$,CHR$(0),"")
                  chh=LCASE$(chh)
                  DoEvents
                  IF chh="jpg" then
                    File.Seek(File.Position-128,0)
                    name$=File.ReadBinStr(134)
                    slash1=INSTR(name$,slash1$)
                    slash2=INSTR(name$,slash2$)
                    slash3=INSTR(name$,slash3$)
                    IF (slash1 + slash2 + slash3)<>0 THEN
                       >>>  FOUND! Then I start the detailed search of the pointer...
             
            

            and now I am waiting for the next file that will fail πŸ˜•

              Are you sniffing out the image size instead of reading the integer in front of the image data?

                  I did not attempt to sniff the jpg size because the compress header has particularity different of other picture formats, it is not a true header, and I dont have enough knowledge about it.
                  But your screeen shot is very good. I only knew the FF+FE recurrence. Your confirmation is important for me, with your addictionally info also.
                  Thanks!
                  ps I now can improve the exact png filename also, that at this moment I did not still search...

                    What header are you referring to?

                    I'm not sure if we are referring to the same thing - maybe this screenshot will help.

                      Did you look at the text file I attached earlier? with notes on the format.

                      [thomas@thomthom.net]

                      There are reoccuring patterns. Looks like block signatures.
                      Blocks Signature; FF FE FF ??
                      The next byte gives the size of the block (or block name)
                      If the UBYTE after the signature is not NULL then it appears to be a UTF-16LE
                      string. UTF-16LE string signature? Many places there is no string, the ?? byte
                      is just NULL.
                      
                      Some places (FF FF) indicates a new section or area. Bytes before that mark
                      might be important. For the Material and Layer section there is four bytes with
                      the total number of Materials and Layers.
                      (FF FF) appear to be preseeded by four bytes. ID number/signature?
                      
                      Apart from the byte indicating the Unicode string there doesn't seem to be any
                      bytes that indicates the size of the blocks. Looks like it's required to know
                      the structure to read the file. Even just part of it.
                      Due to plugins there could be extra information and blocks inserted.
                      Components also complicates things as they appear as files within the file. Due
                      to this you can not blindly scan for strings or byte sequences.
                      
                      What is the pattern to the file structure?
                      How do you scan/skip to the interesting data reliably?

                        Yes I downloaded it but I did not found jpg blocks and I thought that the markers was the signature only for the structures of objects and the jpgs were an unexplored different attachment.
                        Addictionally I thought that SU maintained an area of overwriting for the jpg images in the file, because I find garbage (jpg started and not ended, but it is possible that I was wrong) and I got the idea of a single physical space of storage...

                          I did not attempt to sniff the jpg size because the compress header has particularity different of other picture formats, it is not a true header, and I dont have enough knowledge about it.

                          What header are you referring to?

                          I'm not sure if we are referring to the same thing - maybe this screenshot will help.

                          exactly I was talking of the header of the jpg file itself

                          updated 0.0.9
                          faster, filename's search uses only ("jpg" or "IEND" strings) + &FF&FE&FF pointer

                                thanks but the meaning of the error vs
                                require 'Win32API'
                                is that the build-in Ruby in SU does not have this extension? Does the user need to install ruby runtime components?

                                  one need a win32api.so file - there are some SU plugins that already ship with this. It's the only file you need to bundle.
