Thumbnail Previews Not Working with RAR 5.0 Archive Format #10

Description

@wyser-ca

There is an issue with thumbnail previews in CBXShell when using archives created with the RAR 5.0 format.

Currently, CBXShell correctly displays thumbnails for CBZ/CBR files created with the RAR 4.x format (the archive information shows version 2.9 under "version to extract" - Tools->Show Information). However, when creating archives with WinRAR 7.x, which only supports the RAR 5.0 archive format, thumbnails are not generated, and previews do not appear.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Create a .cbr file using WinRAR 7.x (default RAR 5.0 format).
Open a folder containing the newly created .cbr file.
Observe that no thumbnail preview is displayed for the file.
Expected behavior: Thumbnail previews should be visible for .cbr files created with both RAR 4.x and RAR 5.0 formats.

Please let me know if any additional information is required. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Tools
WinRAR Version: 7.01 (supports only RAR 5.0 format for archive creation)
OS: Windows 11 23H2
CBXShell: 4.6.2
