SageThumbs 2K 1.8.1

What's changed

Added

• The portable version can now do Explorer thumbnails after all. 1.8.0 said it couldn't.
  That was wrong, and this fixes it. The zip now includes the thumbnail handler, and
  st2k register (or the button in Settings -> Advanced) switches it on for your user
  account only - no installer, no administrator rights, nothing written machine-wide. The
  classic right-click menu comes with it. st2k register --off undoes it, and you should run
  that before moving or deleting the folder, otherwise Windows is left pointing at a file that
  is no longer there. The Explorer preview pane, the Details pane columns and the Windows 11
  right-click menu still need the installer, because Windows only accepts those registered for
  the whole machine. (issue #13)

Portable (no installer)

Extract and run. Nothing is installed, nothing goes in the registry, no admin needed.
Settings live in SageThumbs2K.ini next to the exe.

It gives you the app and the command line tool: settings, convert and resize, quick
preview, screenshots, OCR, the colour picker and the folder tools. It does not
give you Explorer thumbnails or the right-click menu, because Windows only loads a
shell extension whose COM class is registered. Install the normal build for those.
