New Release: 3.3.0 Beta 3

Thank you so much for this update.

I haven't checked Icaros for a little while, so I was absolutely delighted to see that metadata properties for the formats I listed in my previous post have now been added (.oga, .mka, .aiff/.aifc, .mov). Big Grin

I am so grateful to you for doing this! It's a testament to you as a developer that you pay such genuine attention to the user-feedback that's sent to you (which many other developers would typically just ignore).

The improvements in v.3.3.0 Beta 3 were immediately noticeable. For the first time EVER I can now see metadata for my .oga ogg audio files without having to rename them to .ogg (which would make them to open in my video player instead of my audio player). It was also great to see .mov support working, as well as seeing that aiff/aifc support had been added to Icaros (particularly because this was a whole new format, and not just a renamed extension of an already supported format).


There are just few issues remaining:

1. ogg properties do not display bitrates (see screenshot below) but all other .oga properties seem to be displaying ok.

2. aiff properties do not display the title (although all other aiff info seems to be displayed correctly, including bitrate)

3. mka (and therefore also mkv) are not displaying anything at all (again see attached screenshot)


Hopefully you'll be able to make these last few adjustments before release.

Icaros' ability to handle all major formats is so very nearly complete. I cannot tell you how much this will simplify things for users. Previous solutions always seemed to only work in one area but not another, so the user ended up having to use multiple overlapping tools (with all the potential conflicts that this can cause). So it will be great to finally have a "one-stop shop" utility like Icaros that can handle everything (instead of having to mess around mixing and matching various different shell extensions).

This comprehensive format support and intuitive ease of use will make Icaros a great recommendation for other less-technical users who have issues with missing thumbnails and media file properties (which is potentially a lot of people, seeing how inadequate and incomplete MS Windows is when it comes to format support). Recommending Icaros to these people will be a no-brainer because it's basically a click-and-go solution. You don't have to walk anyone through the process of registering dlls etc. you can just say to them: "Install Icaros. That will display what you want".

Thank you again for your ongoing hard work on this wonderful project. Heart You are a legend, sir!

Hi Lem,

Thank you so so much for all the kind words and incredible support!  Heart
It post really means a lot to me! This is truly the kind of feedback that keeps the development of Icaros going.

About the remaining issues. Could you send me your test files, and I'll make sure to fix these issues as soon as I can.
I do know that the MKV tag parser is incomplete in Icaros, but I'm very much aiming to fix that soon.
