Hello all
In my database, I have a table of images (image file name with a blod field). I also have a JTable to display the name of these images. Now I need to display thumbnails for these images in this JTable.
My question is: do I have to create a thumbnail image for each image to show in the JTable (that means I need a new field in the image table) OR I can use these images as thumbnails.
Thanks
suhu
I believe that you have to create a new thumbnail for each image (anyone, please correct if wrong).

What you need to do is write a new TableCellRenderer to display the image.
You can then use the original images and just scale them on the fly...
