How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
About 8 years ago I used an old program called PixAround and created some Java "postcards" of panoramics scenes taken on a vacation. Having limited room on my PC, I deleted the original jpegs. They just looked better in the postcard than in Window Image viewer.
These "postcards" are self-contained Java apps but in an .exe file. I can find no option in the program to edit such postcards and I'm wondering if there's a way to extract those images which I believe are still encoded there as jpegs.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

If the .exe file contains other files the same way a zip or jar file does, then you might be able to extract its contents.

I don't know anyone that would download and execute a .exe file.
Can you look at the .exe file in a hexeditor and see it there is a list of the names of the images?

Re: How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
Thanks for responding Darryl. I've considered this, and restitching in Photoshop, but the resolution and panoramic width of these photos is much to large for my monitor... I'd lose megapixels of info. Most are at least 180 shots, and I think one is even a complete 360.

Re: How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
Please explain. I admit I'm taking a leap here. The PixAround program does create Java based applets for web pages but a postcard is different. I'm assuming that it also is a self-contained Java applet started by clicking on the executable... which I've heard is possible. It it's not, then I need to know that and I can then ask at a more appropriate forum.

How is your .exe file related to java?

Re: How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
As I said I'm assuming since PixAround makes Java applets for the web, that the exe file MIGHT also be Java based. I'm basing that on statements like this
Java is a programming language that can be used to create both standalone programs (.exe files) and programs that run in web pages (.class files). The web based programs are called Applets.

Re: How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
Ha! I know that which is why I asked. Your system probably even blocks their upload. But someone might have a Java developers tool or somesuch that can peek inside. Sadly, while the PixAround site is still up... it appears no one is home and they don't asnwer emails.
Can you look at the .exe file in a hexeditor and see it there is a list of the names of the images?

Re: How Do I Extract Images From PixAround Java .exe "Postcard"?
Looking at text stings I did find mention of only one jpg and I can't even find that folder in the current installation. It's probably created when the postcards are.... something I can't do now. The original postard was made with XP. Maybe this ancient program isn't fully compatible with Vista32.
C:\Program Files\PixAround.com\PixMaker Pro\pptemp\qgtovlev.jpg
I'm not finding any reference to .class or .jar. So maybe this isn't a Java based applet at all.
