I Just found a very nice hidden feature of this module (well it was hidden to me) Clicking the ZoomBox of the Tools h Modules window opens the palette up very nicely. Click on the screenshot of the collapsed module to see what I mean.

Much to my surprise this was quicker than exporting and showing graphics and kept SuperCard a lot more responsive. It is also easy to update the thumbnails by setting the currenttime of each.
