[wix-users] Fw: Purpose of ThmViewer

[harald goci]

Hello again!
I would like to share my experience with ThmViewer after I invested some
hours with it.

First of all - yes, you should see the graphical visualization of the
"pages" listed in the first window.

The trick to get it running is that if you have an "Image" object defined,
like "<Image X="11" Y="11" Width="64" Height="64" ImageFile="logo.png"
Visible="yes"/>" in the file RtfTheme.xml, the image file (here "logo.png")
must be in the same folder as the XML. If the file is not found you won't
see any page window and you won't get any error message.

The "page window" only shows a skeleton of the dialog because references to
defined strings are not dissolved.

Hello!
In the WiX documentation
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/wixstdba/wixstdba_customize.html
 I found the last sentence very promissing:
"To view a theme file without having to build a bundle, you can use the
ThmViewer.exe which is located in %WIX%\bin\."

I expected a graphical visualization of the single pages. But what I saw is
a tree view with the contained page names: (Embedded image moved to file:

Clicking on the page names shows no reaction.

Is this the intended feature set of ThmViewer or should I see more?
