New Release: 3.2.0 Final

#1
Star 
Good Afternoon Everyone,

Here is the final build of 3.2.0.
It does come with a few extra changes since RC1.
A good number of bug fixes but also a new test method on the Debug page
and enhanced PSD decoding! So I would definitely say it's worth it to
upgrade from RC1.

The next Beta build will be a lot more interesting with some highly requested
new features. So keep an eye out for that one!

I hope you all enjoy the new release! ^__^

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the latest changes since RC1:

For some reason, the size of the cache, Icaros shows not the same as Windows.

An impressive release - and an impressive accomplishment. This is such a well done and useful tool. I prefer it over the built-in Windows thumbnail handler.

I really don't like this, but now that it's a little bit late, I have to report a bug (sort of). The ODT thumbnails seem to encounter the same issues as with EPUB in the past, ie it's treated as a standard ZIP. So a random image from within the document is shown, not the "thumbnail/thumbnail.png" which depicts the first page (like Word documents do). This may confuse people, because the documents will look like images in File Explorer. I suggest that Icaros should look for such a file within the archive, and prefer it when present.

That said I can only repeat my first line. And urge people to donate. Look at all the shareware trash on the Microsoft Store. Lesser people rip users off with garbage, and this really great tool is offered as a gift.

Thank you.

PS: And thank you for providing a notice when PSD is already registered with another handler - a WIC codec in my case.
