Feature Request: Explorer "Filter" for exe icons (or how that is called on windows) #1417

Open nanderer opened 2 months ago

nanderer commented 2 months ago

hi,

another feature request, so i am ignoring the stuff to fill out for bug reports, have a look here:

grafik

.dll files are fine but on older windows versions those exe files had an icon, so if it is possible go deeper into windows and build them some filter so that those file preview generation algorithm checks your code out when hitting a 16bit exe file (maybe also with a nice dosbox icon for dos software (carefull some dos apps have windows icons to by some hacks programmers did back then) and win3.1 styled exe icon for windows 16bit ware without an icon)

thanks in advance

PS: if it is to hard, do some console tool that i can run on one folder that extracts .ico files for each PE (those files commonly called exe, scr or else) file in it
