Does Icaros need to be running in order to dynamically add thumbnails to the cache? #94

Closed lmills87 closed 4 months ago

lmills87 commented 4 months ago

I'm a little unsure of how this works; when I installed Icaros is it always running in the background even if I click the "x" and close the program? Or should/can it be minimized to the system tray so that other operations aren't interrupted?

No. It does not need to run in the background.

It is a "plugin" for Explorer and gets used by Explorer only when needed.

Thanks!

Thank you @clsid2 for answering! Another great thing about (most) shell extensions is that, once they've completed their task, they are unloaded/freed automatically afterwards by File Explorer.
