The purpose of Icaros Shell Extensions Portable is to enable thumbnail previews for almost any video file, automatically registering all the audio and video formats that are compatible with FFmpeg (namely MKV, OGM, FLV, AVI, RM, FLAC, APE, MPC, TAK, and WV).Īside from the aforementioned media formats, you can also manually add other file types you want Windows Explorer to preview. Activate thumb preview for various media files Icaros Shell Extensions Portable aims to solve both these issues, enhancing the default media previewing capabilities of Windows Explorer. Another problem is related to the thumbnail itself Windows Explorer usually grabs the first frame, so if multiple videos start the same, you won't be able to quickly find the one you are looking for just by glancing at the thumb. Windows Explorer is configured to show previews for media files you click on, but not all file formats are supported.
