New Release: 3.2.0 RC 1

[Xanashi]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Just another late release, nothing new here. ;)

This is primarily a stability release, fixing a number of reported bugs and getting FFmpeg up-to-date.
I do have a slightly more interesting build coming up, but it still needs a bit more testing.

I wanted this build to be the final 3.2.0 build, but the latest FFmpeg gave me a few regressions, that I
want to make sure has been ironed out, before I officially can call this build final.

So please keep the feedback coming. Even if I don't always reply right away, I do look into every issue.
I also really appreciate the positive feedback. It makes working on Icaros so much more enjoyable and worth it.

And once again thanks to everyone who has donated and helped with translations!
You're all amazing.

And for the sake of full transparency, here is the combined amount of donations received in 2020:

2020 - $203,5

Enjoy the new release! ^__^

Added 'Channel Count' and 'Sample Rate' to Explorer detail pane for audio files (see notes below)

This is great. I have Sample Rate showing up in Explorer's detail pane.
Is it possible to have Sample Rate show up as one of the clickable/sortable columns across the top, when a folder's View is set to "Details"?

"Bit depth" works, because of Icaros. It's showing up as one of the columns. But I can't seem to find/force "Sample Rate". Is it not possible?

Great! You have fixed almost all the bugs that I wrote to you about.

- Allow using Enter to open file location of selected file on Debug page

File Explorer opens in the background. It would be better if it opened on top of the Icaros window.

Oh, wrote to you on mail about this one!
Just to get the reply public, here it is again:

It works exactly like you described on my machines.
When I hit Enter the File Explorer window pops up on top of Icaros and selects the file.
Any idea how I can recreate your scenario?

I want to believe that this is an oversight by Microsoft and not by design, but unfortunately it is not possible to have Sample Rate as a column in Explorer.
All Windows properties basically has various attributes determining how they can be used in File Explorer, how they should be formattet, used in searches and so on.

One of these attributes is called "isViewable", and it decides whether a property can be viewed as a column.
This attribute is disabled by default, and need to be explicitly enabled for every property to make them show up in the column selector.
Unfortunately this attribute has not been set on the SampleRate system property, meaning it is by default disabled.
And I don't believe it is possible to modify the attributes of any native System Property. I'm not 100% sure though.
