How can I get the program to import my own descriptions during disk scan, or add support for importing thumbnails from new types of files, or other sources?

WhereIsIt provides Description API, a programming interface that allows users to include or even write their own plugins, extending program’s ability to handle other, currently unsupported description and thumbnail sources. For example, if you would like to import your *.txt files as descriptions, you could write a simple description plugin for this task. It will be plugin’s responsibility, however, to provide the text to be used for description in any way it can. As far as WhereIsIt is concerned, it will just say to your plugin during the disk scan: “Hey, you said you can get me description for parent folder from *.txt files, so here is a folder with some .txt files in it, let me have up to 32 kB of description text then”. A full documentation and a sample about DescAPI and writing plugins is available in the [WhereIsIt]\DescAPI folder.
