SKIAShellExtensions and some changes to Skia4Delphi code...

[carloBarazzetta]

Hi guys, to develop SKIAShellExtensions (https://github.com/EtheaDev/SKIAShellExtensions) I had to make some small changes to the original Skia4Delphi code, because I need to retrieve from the codec the last frame of the animation for rendering the icon in Windows explorer, but in a "non-visual" context.
The only way I found was to create a TSkAnimatedImageBrush class very similar to the TSkAnimatedImage: I would like to know from you if there was an alternative way...
The differences from your Skia4Delphi code is located in the folder: SKIAShellExtensions\Ext\skia4delphi\Source\VCL where there is an additional unit: Vcl.Skia.ControlsEx.pas with two classes:
TSkAnimatedImageBrush and TSkAnimatedImageEx, used to simplify interaction of component with the Actions in the GUI.
Thank you for your great job!

Hi Carlo, it is amazing!

That's interesting, I hadn't thought about the possibility of rendering without context. There really is no better alternative in the current version. A TSkAnimatedImageBrush is a really interesting idea.

We rewrote TSkAnimatedImage recently (to implement new features) and we will make it available in the next version, which will be released soon. We are considering implementing TSkAnimatedImageBrush, perhaps in the next version.
