Had a small view on the sources. I saw many dependencies wich are not
documented for me (*.hpp, windows-dependencies and *.dfm -files). It seems
You are using standard windows- or borland-libraries for doing the
graficconversions. Where is the point for giving the read-in datas to the
memory? In wich way they these functions ( read-file?() ...? ) are called
(filename, size, bitdepth...) .

Is as in
 --  void __fastcall TFormMain::TimerPreviewTimer(TObject *Sender) { } --
all Your reading stuff merged with the Gui at the moment?

We can do it so only while putting the related code in an
"Unit###.c"-file ;-). Using libgimp could help us doing this, while we
would need more dependencies, wich is not good for portability of the
code.
