How Babelsoft Media Preview reveals less-common file types in Explorer

Latest Govt. Jobs 16:30:00 How To's Edit
Windows Explorer is great for finding and organizing files, but it’s sadly lacking in preview and thumbnail support for anything other than garden-variety JPEG and AVI files. FLV , OGG, APE, FLAC, PCI and other less-common formats appear as generic application icons without a preview—not exactly optimal when trying organize a varied multimedia collection.
[Have a tech question? Send your query to answer@pcworld.com.]
But where Microsoft has been remiss, Babelsoft has not. The company’s aptly named Media Preview integrates seamlessly into the Windows open preview architecture to provide thumbnails and previews of all those files I mentioned and more. Even better, Babelsoft charges the grand sum of... Nothing. Nada, zip, zilch, zero.  That’s right, the spirit of Linux right here in Microsoft-land.
[ Further reading: Your new PC needs these 15 free, excellent programs ]
Using Media Preview is simple: Download it, install it, then open the configuration tool seen below and select the music, picture, or movie files types you want it to generate thumbnails and previews for.

Babelsoft Media Viewer’s configuration dialog showing the supported video formats. Less popular image and audio files are supported as well.
Click Apply for each tab and enjoy. Note that creating thumbnails takes CPU cycles and disk space. Your system may slow down while creating the icons each time you visit a new folder.
Caveats or no, take a look at screen grabs of my test video folder before and after installing the Media Viewer. I don’t know about you, but I definitely prefer the after.

Media Preview is a simple fix for a simple problem that someone has put out there for free. Huzzah!
