All the versions of Windows starting from Windows XP have the ability to display the thumbnails of many different file types, especially the media file types. You can change the settings in Windows File Explorer to display the thumbnails of these media files. But File Explorer cannot display the thumbnails of all the media files if proper video codecs are not installed. To work around this problem, you can either install media codec packs like K-Lite Mega Codec pack or you can use Icaros.
Icaros is a simple utility that not only enables the thumbnails in Windows File Explorer for a number of media files, but it also allows some special features for the video files. It is available both as a setup installer package and as a portable program. In both cases, you have to launch the IcarosConfig.exe program to enable and customize the thumbnails.
In the Icaros Config window, you can click on the Deactivated under various features to activate them. For example, you can enable thumbnails for a set of file types by clicking on Deactivated under the Thumbnailing and turning the status into Activated. You can also set the file types for which thumbnails should be activated in this window.
Other options that you can choose from the options for thumbnailing include detection of black or white frames inside the video files, overlaying of file icons over the thumbnails, displaying movie reel on the sides of thumbnails of video files, use of embedded cover art and more.
You can also enable properties for the selected file types which allows you to view media properties for those files in the File Explorer such that the length, width, height, artists and so on. Furthermore, Icaros can also use its internal cache for caching the thumbnails and keep them in case Windows File Explorer loses them.
You can download Icaros from http://shark007.net/tools.html.

What a fantastic work from Paolo and AROS community. Now, the icaros desktop environement is available for everyone who likes to use it in hosted mode WITH the hostbridge option to allow host programs to be launched from inside icaros !
This is a FAAAST tuto for ubuntu 17.04 64 bits users : some 32 bits libraries and packages are missing by default.
download the light version : http://www.icarosdesktop.com/icarosfiles/IcarosLight_2_2_0.zip
follow the manual : unzip the iso and mount it
mounting icaros light iso in /mnt
Icaros hosted needs 32 bits libs. As many, i’m under ubuntu 17.04 64 bits. No problem : install 32 bits libraries and some other libraries. So, if in the icaros launch step you get an error like :
“./AROSBootstrap : No such file or directory”
Windows 10 Icaros Not Working Free
(en français “./AROSBoostrap Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type”)
we must install 32bits libs :
if you get those errors when launching ./icaros : “failed to open “libcursor.so.1” error, “failed to open libXxf86vm.so.1”, and/or ALSA error with libasound :
like this error on libXcursor.so.1
THE LIBRAIRIES JUST BELOW, PLEASE REGISTER TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. You will then be able to access all the tutorials, and all the free downloads !
So install the required libraries :
icaros also requires ifconfig command (which is in “net-tools” package), that is not installed by default on ubuntu 17.04 (you get the error “ifconfig no such file or directory”) :
you will need to know the name of your network interface, just type “ifconfig” and write down the name. For me it is “enp0s3”.
![]()
output of “ifconfig” command, where we can read the interface name, here it is enp0s3
this is what you get
choose 2 : configure linux network
when settings network environement, icaros install some packages like uml-utilities to allow routing
follow the instructions. When asked for the name of the network interface, type the name of the interface you got the step before.
choose 3 : Install Icaros
I think you should give only 1Gb to AROS, as it is quite enough for it to run smoothly. You will be able to change this in the future.
change of directory and launch icaros command
normally, everything has been done to make icaros run smoothly.
you should answer yes, seems better to have a network under icaros
on the first start, configure icaros and unzip extras
as you always do : configure icaros on first start
Windows 10 Icaros Not Working On Mac
when it comes to X11 configuration, i would prefer to just “save”, don’t modify anything, cause it hangs if you do
You are now under icaros desktop. tadaaa
wonderfull ?
I’ve found only one way :
This answer of ncafferkey tells me that the shutdown command in icaros makes the job, it’s smarter : http://aros-exec.org/userinfo.php?uid=219
