Download Visual Pinball - File Explorer Handlers 2.1

A Windows File Explorer previewer for Visual Pinball files (*.vpt, *.vpx & *.directb2s). 
 
When installed file previews can be seen in the Preview Pane for File Explorer and the Visual Pinball open file dialogue, previews can be toggled on/off by using the ALT+P key combination (or normal File Explorer menu options). 
 
From V2.0 the previewer also includes thumbnail and drop handlers so that Visual Pinball icon thumbnails can be customised (visible when viewing medium and larger icon sizes or the Details Pane in File Explorer & Visual Pinball open file dialogue). The details pane can be toggled on/off in File Explorer using the ALT+Shift+P key combination.
 
The use of thumbnails for icons (and/or in the Details Pane) is optional and requires user configuration, Preview Pane population is automatic.
 
Note - The preview handler is not compatible with the webp image format. If the VP screenshot (or playfield image if no screenshot is assigned) is a webp image the handler will not display a preview (sorry JP!), but as explained in the readme you can assign your own screenshot image to the table which offers advantages for performance and flexibility.
 
ReadMe.pdf is included in the download with simple install instructions and more details. Please read it!
 
Tested on Win11, but should work on Win7 (SP1) and later.
