I do my Windows testing with Boot Camp, and in an effort not to reboot to answer a simple question I thought someone might be kind enough to answer
According to the ImageWell documentation (http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/ImageWell) Windows only supports BMP and PNG in an ImageWell. What happens if I try to put a JPEG in? Does Windows really not support JPG natively? If not, how do I display a JPG in an ImageWell?

Where do you see that? I must be missing it. Anyway, the statement doesn’t make sense, because once you have a Picture object, it’s an uncompressed bitmap and not a jpeg (or bmp or png) any more.
Thanks for the workaround
I’ll probably have to turn it into a picture object anyway so images larger than the well display completely (by being resized)
