Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files?

[CoreyVidal]

Hi. Only discovered Icaros today, but it looks like it might be the program I've been needing for over a decade.

I tried looking here on your website and also in the app on where/how to make a request. I couldn't find anything, but please point me in the right direction if I should be requesting elsewhere.

Is it possible to get support for Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files? That's it. That's all.

Thanks for such a clean and impressive app!

Hey, just wanted to bump this.

Awesome! So glad you found it and like it! <3

You're in the right place!
AI files are on the todo list, but it may take a while, as it requires quite a bit to get to work. 
That said, if someone implements decoding of AI in FFmpeg at some point, it may show up in Icaros sooner rather than later.

Thank you for the very kind words!! 
I really appreciate them. <3

Hey, amazing! Happy to hear from you.

In the meantime, I have been using this little bit of code to show .ai thumbnails in Windows Expolorer:

Maybe that could help you?

That is honestly not a bad idea! Making partial support work is actually quite straight forward (Thanks for link!)
I hadn't thought of that. 
By partial support I'm referring to the fact that it would only work on files with an already embedded thumbnail in the metadata.

I would LOVE this. I've been struggling with thumb support for AI for sooo long. I know this is an old thread, I'm just bumping in case it gives a small better chance for it happening!
