Good afternoon Everyone,

Here we are! This release was scheduled to be out like a month ago, but I was caught in the eternal developer cycle,
where there were just one last thing I wanted done before release, and then another and then another.
I actually had to pull back some unfinished changes to get this build out now.

Anyway, this release primarily contains feature request and bug fixes reported by users.
The cache still needs more work to allow me to better debug the various issues people are experiencing.
I couldn't fit those changes into this build.

As always a big thanks to everyone who has donated, helped with translations and helped out with troubleshooting
bugs. You are all amazing!

Enjoy the new release! ;)

Thanks, been using the Beta for a few days and haven't encountered any new issues. Thanks for the WebP features, I really hope the format starts to catch on more.

Awesome, So far so good...

Thanks for an update Xanashi!

WebP support is nice (and why I downloaded the beta). However, like Google's WebP codec, it doesn't handle animated WebP. It would be really nice if you could grab the first full frame of a WebP animation.

I also noticed that the framerate for MP4 files (AAC codec) is sometimes wildly off in Windows. I'm getting numbers like 509 fps for a 23.975 fps file (as shown in VLC). It might be nice to add your own properties for the video formats that Windows Explorer natively supports.

@[b]Xanashi[/b] Win 10 1903 has been rolling out since yesterday, haven't encountered any noticeable issues with 3.1.1b1, do you anticipate there is anything that needs to be changed to accommodate the new version?

I looked into the animated WebP problem, and the reason it doesn't work is simply because FFmpeg doesn't support decoding animated WebP yet (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4907).
Now I wouldn't be surprised if some users got confused, because it turns out that FFmpeg doesn't have a problem encoding animated WebP files.
So it can create the files, but not read them afterwards.

MP4 property support in Icaros is on the todo list, but I'm not working on it at this time.

I have spoken with a couple of people about possible changes, but they should not have any impact on Icaros.
I will keep an eye out though.

Love the app.

Found a small issue. It doesn't seem to like thumbnailing files in the One Drive folder. The only time I've found it doing so is when One Drive is synching a file.

I tried all the usual: Changing icons modes, clearing system cache, clear icaros cache, rebooting...

I'm on W10x64 1903

Also not having a cursor in these message windows makes it weirdly hard to type!
