Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When browsing through folders which contain photos & videos with ImageGlass, I'm "missing" all the videos since they're not shown at all in IG.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see a preview of videos as well. All editing functionality etc. could be disabled and IG could show some subtle info that the current file is a video (e.g. a half transparent play icon in the center). There's no need for a built in video player. When clicking on the play icon, the video should simply open in my default video player.
Alternative
If showing a thumbnail of the video is too much hassle to implement, I could even live with some image like a play icon (that's how FastStone handles video files)...

Research direction
Start by tracing how ImageGlass discovers and displays files while browsing folders, then identify the existing path for opening unsupported or non-image files externally. Done means video files are represented in the browser, show a video indication or preview, and open in the default video player when selected, without editing functionality.
