Adding a new file format to PictView plugin

Is it possible to add support for new graphic format to PictView plugin? I.e. Is there an interface in PictView that would allow to to that?

I had designed my own graphic format few years ago and I would like Atlap Salamander to be able to display thumbnails for that files. I could write a simple dll that exports one function which would read my own file format and convert it to a 32bit DIB or something like that for the PicView plugin.

But this would require a plugin interface for a plugin, so I wonder if there is such an interface within PictView plugin.

+1.

It will be easier to add specific DLL with proper interface.

I also ask if the autor of PictView plugin consider more *opened* interface like load all plugins from for example XnView if path to installation is set.
