π A .THM entry can also be recognized as a thumbnail image made up by software products and digital camcorders when saving an outcome video clip. In accustomed circumstances, the .THM sample includes a small image from the first frame of the video clip and is represented to assist a user comprehend a video sequence when the user visually browses through an aggregated collection of video streams or tracks. Besides, the .THM file objects are frequently stored in the resulting .JPEG definition. The .THM thumbnail instance is generated by the appropriate digital device and stored to its internal storage or memory card, when the user captures a video clip or sequence with a camera or digital camcorder. Each of the .THM extension resources combines the identical filename as its related video clip when the source data sample is transferred from a device to a computer.
π In appropriate conditions, a .THM file category may serve as a theme file employed by Sony Ericsson mobile phones. Particularly, the .THM data sample stores settings utilized to customize the visual screen interface of the cell phone and includes custom wallpaper, icons, text and window colors, and other proper images and graphical structures. Miscellaneously, the .THM resources can be generated, opened up and edited via the freeware Themes Creator suite from Sony Ericsson corporation. It should be strictly mentioned, that currently the further maintenance, development and support of the Themes Creator project is completely ceased and discontinued. Therefore, this corresponding .THM format category can be marked as obsolete and archaic.
π This relevant .THM file subcategory can be associated with macro-resources utilized by Thermwood CNC Routers. In short, this specific .THM entry includes machining router guides and workflows suitable for the automation of custom router processes. Moreover, a reference list of CNC events is also stored in a custom, original file entitled as βhist.thmβ. The following .THM item branch is pretty outdated and can be rarely tackled with in contemporary PCs and mainframe infrastructures due to its expired date of the license conditions. After all, you can encounter this accurate .THM sample type solely on Windows platform. On Mac and Linux systems this file format constitution is not distributed and uncommon.
π Also the .THM format definition may be based on the thumbnail graphical image, which is eligible as an icon-sized, miniature preview which represents a larger image. In common, the .THM container is stored in a bitmap state and on the layout and schema close to a .JPG sample, but in a lower resolution ratio. Video or photo-editing and digital camera products frequently exploit, build and open up .THM sources to maintain small previews of larger videos and images. The target of .THM file thumbnails is to provide a quick preview that gives you an overall idea and concept of the proper clip art, video, image, etc. which you are browsing and navigating through at the moment. As long as the .THM thumbnail is handled and processed in quite a low resolution, it is not suggested to be viewed and opened the same as the original file for which it maintains a preview for.
π One more auxiliary .THM data entry type corresponds to the raster images stored in the GoPro Thumbnail form. Particularly, .THM definition stores graphical content similarly to the .JPEG extension but also includes GoPro-specific metadata, including the settings of the camera and time and date it was captured. Genuine GoPro cameras, such as the HERO3 and HERO2, automatically build up .THM thumbnail previews from captured shots in order to assist users to preview videos and images. The following .THM sample is comprehended as a small preview (normally 160x120) built up from a single frame in your footage that is also miniature in size to allow for faster loading times as you navigate and scroll through the .THM image. Miscellaneously, the .THM items are accompanied with .LRV objects distinguished as a low-resolution video utilized during the editing routine to minimize the amount of computing power exploited to modify the video-sequence.
How to open an .THM file?
π The .THM graphical object instances can be explored, opened and reviewed by default or externally downloaded image viewers and editors, such as Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Windows Photo Viewer, Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, Apple Preview and other products. Quite rarely, the .THM items correspond to the Sony Ericsson theme files and include interface elements. On this clause, the resulting .THM sample can be processed with Sony Ericsson Themes Creator. Otherwise, if the source .THM record contains the generic thumbnail image, it can be monitored and discovered by raster-oriented ACDSee Photo Studio, Microsoft Photos, and other sustainable app categories. In exceptional situations, if the custom .THM entity includes GoPro Thumbnail previews, you can also handle the desired file entry with GoPro Quik applet on Android or iOS smarts.
