[Feature Request] Shortcuts icons (simple folder search) #326

Open glat opened 4 years ago

glat commented 4 years ago

I've a lots of shortcuts in a folder. I added that folder to "Simple folder search" and I got results. I opened this issue because I manually created shortcuts to a .exe file and I do not see the exe file icon but a simple white page icon. Is it possible to assign to the shortcut icon the related .exe icon, such as Windows do for a shortcut? Thanks

Same issue when having *.url files in a folder which are Windows bookmark shortcut files leading to a website. In Ueli they do not appear with their icon. I used Hain (alternative to Ueli but not continued) and it also shows the associated file icons of a certain file.

I found a "workaround". Add your folder in "Application Search", and you'll get icons.

Thank you very much @glat - your workaround did the trick!

I still like you request, because I use a lot of portable apps, which tend to have a launcher, and in a subfolder they have the actual application. Now I only want to get the launchers, so I added all my portable apps as "shortcuts" in Ueli, which leaves me without any icons. Also trying to set the .exe as icon doesn't work!

@oliverschwendener Any chance to support .exe as Icon or try to get the icon from the file path automatically? Also a plugin for "PortableApps" would be quite handy, so the subfolders for a PortableApp would be ignored. Could also be done by a max. depth option for the Application Search folder entry?!

Currently I used a script to create a .ico for each .exe and used that in the settings for the Shortcuts.
