Show File icon of its own #1

Closed POPIT-SOLUTIONS closed 4 months ago

Hi Rejetto,

It would be great to have each file display its own icon on the user side. Many files have distinct icons, and displaying them accordingly would enhance the user experience. While the feature to change icons by extension is useful, displaying each file's specific icon would take it to the next level.

what i can think of, for now, is to expand the file-icons plugin so that you can specify a file instead of just an extension

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

That might help us up to a limit, but it would be a nice feature if you could display the native icons that correspond to each file.

rejetto commented 5 months ago

sorry, if that's what you want, at the moment i cannot make system calls, as it's needed to get the icon of file. if you would use the thing that i said, i can work on it.

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

keep that as a suggestion . and please forward with changes in file-icons plugin

rejetto commented 5 months ago

the files with their own icon you were talking about, are exe files?

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

yes absolutely

rejetto commented 5 months ago

update file-icons plugin, and configure it to your liking

the files with their own icon you were talking about, are exe files?

And probably .dll files as well

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

The new update for the plugin actually works, but some file icons are mismatched with icons from other files

rejetto commented 5 months ago

can you show the problem?

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

These are the original icons image And hfs shows this as image

rejetto commented 5 months ago

i see. I also noticed that the resolution of the icon is not high. Anyone is welcometo improve it; the job is done by the script "exicon.ps1" that you find inside the plugin's folder. In the plugin i use ExtractAssociatedIcon offered by Windows itself, but maybe something better exists. I'm going to close this here, as this is a problem of the plugin now, and not hfs.

rejetto commented 5 months ago

reopening, after transfering to plugin's repo

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

Oh , sure we understand this is not a Hfs issue , also we expect that the plugin will be fixed

rejetto commented 5 months ago

i cannot guarantee you that it will be fixed, for i don't know what the solution is

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 5 months ago

can you please solve the icon mismatch issue

rejetto commented 5 months ago

i don't know how

POPIT-SOLUTIONS commented 4 months ago

I believe the issue was resolved in the last update you provided. It wasn't visible to me earlier due to my browser's issue. After clearing my browser data, it now works fine. Thank you, Rejetto
