A second instance of the viewer windowHey! I'd like to create a second viewer window for compositions, to have a small representation of my compositions. I think the Quartz Performer is a good example of what i'm looking for, but the preview window should be positioned in the original viewer window. (a "floating" stand alone version might also be possible. I'm trying to get results by looking at the Quartz Perfomer sources, but it hasn't really worked so far. too sad the interface builder is a bit too cheesy to go the easy way, ;) of course one could create the same patches etc in one comp, only smaller, but that would be a performance killer i think.. who has an idea? take care.

Why not just use the spooky send and receive or the screen capture plugin from vade? These might help you achieve your project goals.
What are you previewing though... not the main screen I guess? Can't you just have your main image take up part of your viewspace, and hook little billboard or sprites down at the bottom of the Viewer space to see something "before" you pick it to go to the main source, if you want it all in the same window?
You might want to look at the image info plugin project from Leopard (probably at ADC). This makes it so that you can see a little preview of an image that is attached to it in the settings panel of the plugin.
