Where to get the Alibre generated assembly thumbnails?

I downloaded software (WinCatalog) to try to capture the thumbnails of the assemblies on the drive so I can find the images in one spot. As yet I cannot capture any. When I do I would like to export (about 1,000) to something like Powerpoint (with the file name and location).

How does Alibre store them and/or how are they displayable (as (extra large) "icons") in Windows File explorer. Does Wizoscript offer any solutions?

Anyone tried this or would like to have this?

Any solutions would be great.

Thank you!

Took a few days but finally have a lead at http://python-thumbnails.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Keyword searches on Amazon books turned up nothing and only one python.org reference at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0342/ without technical references. I'll keep working the problem time permitting but chime in if you have insight.

(If there are no objections I will keep links for my follow-up study in this post to keep them in one spot)

Just got back to forum.

Thank you Nate- I'll work with that, as soon as I get a break from other pressing issues.
