"Show type overlay on thumbnails" shows icon for association instead of file type. #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Running:
SageThumbs Shell Extension 2.0.0.12

On:
Windows 7 (Home Premium)

Process to reproduce:
1. In Windows Explorer go to Tools > Folder Options, select the View tab, and 
enable the option for "Display file icon on thumbnails".

2. In SageThumbs Options enable the option for "Show type overlay on 
thumbnails".

3. Set Photoshop as the default "Opens with:" setting for both PSD files and 
PNG files. 

4. Create a PSD file (I made mine with Photoshop CS4). Give it a name and save 
it to a folder. 

5. In Photoshop, go to File > "Save for web & devices..." and save the image as 
a PNG (to the same folder you saved the PSD).

...

In Windows Explorer... 
These "View modes" show a thumbnail with "launch program" overlay:
• Extra Large Icons
• Large Icons
• Medium Icons
• Tiles

The thumbnail/icon representing each of the two files is displaying the a "file 
association overlay" (icon of the program that opens it by default). They never 
display a "type overlay" with the thumbnail. Any of the "View modes" in which 
you can see a thumbnail of any size, the two image files are visually 
indistinguishable... defeating the purpose of the thumbnails AND the icon 
overlays... forcing you to read the file extension in order to determine which 
is which. 

... other than this, the software is stellar! :)

This overlay icon is not controllable by any application except Windows itself.
