Thanks, found out by myself also,
and added a partial fix last year
for the primitive BMP 1 format.

Thanks for your code, I'll check.

More than a bug report this could be a contribution. I did a thumbnail provider for dwg files, somewhat inspired by dwgbmp.

dwgbmp doesn't work on many post R2000 dwg files, for some different reasons:
- Maybe it can't find the preview block
- It only supports type 1 (BMP) DIBs in 256 color paletted mode
- Newer formats actually have type 6 previews (not documented in the reverse engineered format), which are simply PNG files stored in the preview block.

I solved the first issue simply by looking for the 16-byte signature (not elegant but it works); the second issue would need interpreting the DIB header but I've only seen a couple of file around with a different DIB format. The third issue is simply handled writing the block as-is as a png file.

I use it with ARES Commander (up to R2018 format) and it seems to work fine.

The tool is here: https://github.com/mrclnz/dwgthumb
It's GPL3 so there shouldn't be any problem

Thanks for the very good work.
