WebView2 for Folder Based Browsing of Animated GIF, PNG, WebP and MP3 - A First Test

The Chromium based WebView2 Control SDK is now Generally Available (GA). It enables Web technologies (HTML...) in native applications. We explore the possibilities of this control to browse folders and display several animated image formats such as Gif, Png, WebP, video WebM, Mp4 and Mp3 audio. From two sample programs, we create a C# WPF .NET5.0 program and add some local folder and file support. A very global description of the scenarios supported, its Basic UI and creation of the program are given.
