About Icaros

[FCB38]

Hello,

I'm new in thi forum. I'm French and sorry for my English.
I'm very intersted by icaros. It's so efficient and simple!!!
Thank you for this software.

But, I would like to know if it could be possible to tune the offset by "secondes" and not in "%".

Thank's a lot.

Hi FCB38,

Welcome to the forum ^_^

Yes... it would be possible, but I initially decided not to use time or 'number of frames' to control the offset,
because it would not always return a proper result.

As an example, let's say you set an offset of 10 seconds. Whenever you
have a file with a duration less than 10 seconds, Icaros would have to return
the last frame instead, which would very likely be a black frame.

Any particular reason, why you want to use seconds instead of %? :-)

Hello,

Yes there is a particular reason. I use Sony Vegas Pro to create movies (my children and others things). My final project is in mkv container.

My movies are created in a special way; after 2 secondes I put the title of the movie (like "Summer holidays", "The new bicycle of William", ...) and a cool picture extract of my Camcorder.
Then if I can see the thumbnail of 2nd second, I can see the Title of the movie. That's all!!!

I hope that it's clear for you. Perhaps you could help me...

Regards.

@mustdie
Thanks for the report. Missed a check ^_^
I've uploaded new builds, and updated the links in my previous post.
Please re-download, and try again.

@FCB38
In a specific case like that, it would indeed be useful.
I'm not sure how many users would benefit from such a feature.
I will consider the options.

Have you activated it via IcarosConfig, yet?

Yep done that.

My thumbnails are a bit messed up right now. When I set VLC as default player I get a white sheet with a yellow play icon on them...I've tried clearing the cache and all that stuff.

@Lenmaer & mustdie
Good to hear everything is in order. ^_^

@mkr10001
Hmm... Icaros is active and IcarosConfig didn't warn about any missing dependencies?
Has the 'Always show icons, never thumbnails' option in the 'Folder Options' -> 'View -> 'Advanced settings' been selected by any chance?

Thanks for new version!

I have one thing to suggest: you should put required dlls with portable version. Otherwise it won't be a real portable application.
