Greetings.
Retrieving/Seeing MediaInfo via a file explorer has
(in my opinion) always been lacking.
The Windows/XP shell has (only) a few fields - dimensions, bit/sample/rate ...
and these load automatically & SLOWLY.
AudioShell adds a dozen or so more Audio-MI fields to the Win/XP shell.
This week I found MKInfoCP 1.0.2b - a .wdx/content plugin for Total Commander.
This plugin makes LOTS of multimedia MediaInfo fields available for ToC -
or any other file explorer (whether freeware or not)
that (purports to) support ToC plugins.
These fields load QUICKLY.
They finish loading before shell-MI items even start loading.
This plugin isn't perfect.
it has a stated limit of 20 file extensions &
does not handle well retrieving MI from "corrupted" MM files,
but it is otherwise an excellent utility for MM management.
This week I also discovered that one can configure ShellDetails -
which adds all Win/XP shell info fields to ToC,
to load Win/XP shell info fields (whether MM or not) ON DEMAND.
So if you go into a folder/directory with LOTS of MM files,
MKInfo will quickly load the MM-MI, and
you can choose to load or not selected or all Win/XP shell info fields ... |
