Icaros Shell Extensions 3.2.1 + Portable

Если у вас установлен K-Lite Codec Pack, то необходимости ставить эту утилиту нет, потому что все эскизы будут отображаться на ура!

I've bumped the version number a bit, due to a major change in this release.
I'm aware that this version number has already been used for another alpha release,
but since I discontinued that branch quite a while ago, I believe it wont confuse anyone,
if I use it once again now.

Over the span of this past year, I've been working on and off on rewriting the
Icaros Property Handler shell extension in C++.

Besides fixing a good number of issues, which the old property handler was suffering from
(such as the .NET error in the event log), this also gave me a chance to improve the underlying
framework, allowing much better handling of tags, and easier implementation of new file parsers.

On that note, a couple of new formats has been added with this new handler (see changelog below),
so the property handler now supports the following filetypes:

.mkv, .mk3d, .webm, .ogm, .ogv, .ogg, .flv, .avi, .rm, .rmvb, .flac, .opus, .spx, .ape, .mp3, .mpc, .mka, .tak, .tta, .ofr, .ofs, .wav, .wv

Since the current GUI has limited space, some of these new filetypes can only be disabled via the registry.
I will be working on finishing the new gui, so hopefully I won't have to modify the old one,
but I may end up doing so anyway, to get 2.3.0 finalized earlier.

Below are the most significant changes and fixes, however since everything has been rewritten,
there could easily be many other minor fixes (or maybe a couple of regressions as well),
so be sure to look out for that.

All feedback is, of course, very appreciated.
Happy New Year! ;)

Не понял этой утилиты. Установил (win8.1), а изменений не заметил. Всё эскизы и без неё отображаются. В чём "фишка" ???

Значит мне она не нужна, у меня тоже всё эскизы и без неё отображаются.

Если у вас установлен K-Lite Codec Pack, то необходимости ставить эту утилиту нет, потому что все эскизы будут отображаться на ура!
Если вы используете другую сборку драйверов СССР, StarCodec или Shark007 то может и пригодится...
