Windows File Explorer integration points:

  • Shows images in the currently focused window - FileExplorerGallery will be opened on the same monitor if you have multiple.
  • Selected image in the File Explorer will be selected in FileExplorerGallery when it shows up
  • FileExplorerGallery follows the same ordering as you currently have in your folder (please note, if you make a change in your folder ordering, you need to go out of this folder and come back in order for FileExplorerGallery to pick it up. This is the current limitation)

NOTE: After starting FileExplorerGallery, it might take up to 10 seconds before you can use it (Windows API to get opened File Explorer Windows needs to "warm up")
