This is the V1.4.1 release but with logging added. It might be helpful when trying to identify problem files.

To install it,

  1. If you haven't already, download and install DarkThumbs V1.4.1.
  2. Make a copy of CBXShell.dll which you installed (e.g. in c:\program files\DarkThumbs).
  3. Download the attached CBXShell.dll. Copy it over the existing CBXShell.dll.

To view the log messages, you need to use the attached DebugView program, dbgview64. [You can download the full package from Microsoft].

My recommended steps would be:
A. Close all Windows Explorer windows.
B. Wipe the thumbnail cache using Disk Cleanup.
C. Run dbgview64.
D. Open a Windows Explorer window and set the view to show icons. Navigate to folders containing books.

DarkThumbs should show a message for each book examined but logs nothing extra on success. On failure or exception, a message should appear.

You can click on the message(s) in dbgview to copy them with Ctrl+C. Ctrl+X clears everything.
