Sorry, I didn't exactly say what I meant to say. The image displaying routine is just fine as it is now. What I wanted to say was that for "other" RES filetype entries like BGcl, ImRn, etc just display where you showed previously the image (i.e. re-use that same section/space) some text output as shown above in post #5.
For example, BGcl could show:

 ======== BGcl ========
 Filename:OFQJ, $0000, Filesize:     54, Filetype:BGcl, $0000
 Header:TOCconst:0001, TOCfname:BGcl, TOCoffset:     40
 Header:$00000001, Unknown:$0000, $00000028, $00000101, $00000000, $00000000
 Data length = 8, Index length = 14
  BGcl_const1:FFFF, Red:FF ($FF), Green:FF ($FF), Blue:FF ($FF)
 Index1:Index1_const1:0080, len:     8, offset:     32, const0:0000

For ImRn, that would mean, show:

 ======== ImRn ========
 Filename:BYVI, $0000, Filesize:    656, Filetype:ImRn, $0001
 Header:TOCconst:0001, TOCfname:ImRn, TOCoffset:    642
 Header:$00000001, Unknown:$0000, $00000282, $00000101, $00000000, $00000000
 Data length = 610, Index length = 14
  Number of images indexed = 17

Or trim to what is only "new" information and not yet displayed in your entries under the General tab, i.e. for BGcl , show just its data contents, simplified to 'BGcl Color Red:FF (OFF), Green:FF (OFF), Blue:FF (OFF)'. The data that gets displayed can be "collected" and assembled as a "string" for each RES filetype when you parse the RES records and then just displayed when the user clicks the BGcl or ImRn entries, etc.... For ImRn, consider displaying (when clicked) only one image's text output at a time.

[*]???The are several possible F L M combinations to try to handle without a specific set of rules this would be hard to control and some combination may be left out. I still have the code but temporary made the buttons invisible.

I had previously "dissected" the Blackmask DVD with over 10,000 ebooks and was trying to get its 8.3 dos filenames to display in 'Author - Title' format where Author was in format Firstname Middlename Lastname. Below are a few text lines that were derived by me from the original Blackmask index so as to get my desired results, just look at the last string on each line of this tabbed spreadsheet data:

865	The Acorn-Planter Jack London The Acorn-Planter	The Acorn-Planter	Jack	London	litmax/acornplant.lit		"London, Jack - The Acorn-Planter"
866	Acres of Diamonds Russell H. Conwell Acres of Diamonds	Acres of Diamonds	Russell H	Conwell	litmax/acrdi.lit		"Conwell, Russell H - Acres of Diamonds"
867	Why Certain Plants Are Acrid Professor William B. Lazenby Why Certain Plants Are Acrid	Why Certain Plants Are Acrid	Professor William B	Lazenby	litmax/acridplant.lit		"Lazenby, Professor William B - Why Certain Plants Are Acrid"
868	Across the Years Eleanor H. Porter Across the Years	Across the Years	Eleanor H	Porter	litmax/acros.lit		"Porter, Eleanor H - Across the Years"
869	Liber LIX - Across the Gulf Aleister Crowley Liber LIX - Across the Gulf	Liber LIX-Across the Gulf	Aleister	Crowley	litmax/acrossgulf.lit		"Crowley, Aleister - Liber LIX-Across the Gulf"
870	Across the Moors William Fryer Harvey Across the Moors	Across the Moors	William Fryer	Harvey	litmax/acrossmoors.lit		"Harvey, William Fryer - Across the Moors"

Oh, by the way, when I say 'Format F M L' should be 'Format L, F M' I don't mean using the Book Properties with the same name, but instead using just one field (Author Firstname) as a source and performing that string manipulation on it ONLY i.e. Author 'Russell H Conwell' becomes 'Conwell, Russell H'. The tricky part is spotting surname suffixes like Sr., Jr. or III.

Thank you, I am glad the program is working for you. I appreciate the comments.

I added the list above to 1.1.7

I like where this program is going: IMP format displayer and editor. It's been a long time coming and I am only glad I can be a "catalyst" for you to produce same. I am a "hobby" programmer and most suited to tweaking code already written than writing my own code from scratch (especially with a GUI!).
