BLIP - BLP and DDS viewer (Binary)

Cool!

There is something about the window size when opening an icon. It doesn't show the whole icon. Also, what happens if the icon is bigger than the screen?

Also, it would be cool if you could integrate with the tiny icon next to the filename (or the bigger one on the desktop and the icon viewing in explorer) so it shows the icon there.

I tried opening a texture with a 2048x2048 dimension, but the window size is wrong. I have to use ALT+SPACE to move the window. It works perfectly in 512x

You mean window size or window position? The window is set to start at screen center but probably the resizing changes its position. Try now, updated.
Code:
this.Left = (SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth - this.ActualWidth) / 2;    
this.Top = (SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight - this.ActualHeight) / 2;

Yes, the window position is not centered, and the window size is too big. If I open 1K or 2K textures, the window size stretches offscreen, and I can't move it around without using Alt+Space. This doesn't happen in 512x512 textures, though.
