Creating an MPO registry entry

[J.Clement]

I can copy the .Jpg registry entry and then by changing ".jpg" to ".mpo" in all places, MPO thumbnails and tag details can be displayed. I have also found that removing the fulldetails kills the details option when looking at properties. MPO is basically a container for multiple jpg images. It is used commonly for 2 images L and R to be displayed in 3D. It could also be used for panoramas. If the properties are changed such as adding a title line, the file becomes unreadable.


So what do I change in the registry file to prevent any changes when viewing properties, but still allow viewing of the tags?
