    It's hosted from GitHub -- so you can view all of the code and dependencies from there if you'd like...the binaries are compiled into an MSI package that I haven't opened up to see what it includes...

    Just clicking through the code repo on GitHub shows me lots of Visual Studio code in C#

    @ mark tomlinson, post: 94348

    Big thanks for this recomendation - it works like it should - even with source.

    Please note that the printer specific tool set and the thumbnail previewer for MS File Explorer have been separated in the meantime.
    The thumbnail viewer got its own repository and can be found here: cabbagecreek/STL-thumbnail/releases

    Some screenshots - with maximized icons for MS File Explore (small blue logo is from previous file icon, from the "cura" slicer) and from the setup program dialog.
