Simple User Interface

Used for managing "Thumbnail Extractors".

Can it be any simpler to have total control over what Thumbnail Extractors are installed and active? :) This graphical version requires .NET Framework 1.1, but there is a console version for those that don't have .NET installed.

Auto install support for Thumbnail Extractors

By downloading and opening a Thumbnail Extractor, it will automagicly extract itself to the ThumbView Extractors folder and install itself. No hassle!

You get a simple confirmation on successful install.
