Change here the way how WinCatalog processes different types of files.
Audio files section
Extract ID3 tags from audio files. If this option is on, WinCatalog will try to extract ID3 tags from Audio files.
Replace filename by Artist - Title value. WinCatalog stores two values - the original filename, and name (or display name). If this option is on, WinCatalog will replace the display name by the "Artist - Title" pattern it grabs from the ID3 tags. Changing the display name does not affect the filename and the file will not "lose the connection" with the original file.
Append track number to the new title. If this option is on, WinCatalog will also append the track number grabbed from ID3 tags to the display name.
Extract thumbnails from audio files. Some ID3 tags have album covers or other pictures. If this option is on, WinCatalog will extract and store these pictures in the catalog.
Create a tag with Artist name. If this option is on, WinCatalog will create a tag using the Artist name from the ID3 tags and link the file the tag. If the tag already exists, the existing tag will be linked with the file.
Extensions. Files with these extensions will be processed as audio files.
Grab media info from vide files. If this option is on, WinCatalog will grab media information from video files like duration, resolution, video and audio channels information, codec, etc.
Extract thumbnails from video files. If this option is on, WinCatalog will grab thumbnails for video files and store them in the catalog.
Thumbnail extraction method. There are two options: "System; FFmpeg" (default), and "FFmpeg".
If the first option ("System; FFmpeg") is selected, WinCatalog tries to grab thumbnails using File Explorer. In other words, if you see thumbnails for video files, WinCatalog will grab exactly the same thumbnails. This method work quickly, but since the thumbnails depend on File Explorer, they are not guaranteed. If the File Explorer is failed to provide a thumbnail for a video file, WinCatalog users FFmpeg - a tool that extracts a frame from approximately a middle of the video file. This method is slower than System, but supports more video formats and codecs.
If the second option ("FFmpeg") is selected, WinCatalog uses FFmpeg only to grab the thumbnails.
Extensions. Files with these extensions will be processed as video files.
NOTICE: This processing module currently is also used for grabbing ID3 tags from the .flac audio files. That is why you see the .flac extension in the list.
