Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Pull icon from exe and put on the containing folder
« on: February 09, 2021, 11:54 AM »
I have a Portable setup on my work computer (not sure if that's relevant to the request). As seen in the back window, I have a PortableApps folder. For the most part, there is a subfolder for each portable app. And--mostly--each folder has an exe in it of the application, for example Calibre Portable in the front window. I was simply going through and manually customizing the folder by navigating to the exe file and choosing the first image that is compiled in it. That way, the folder has the same image as the application in it. I figured that could be automated with AHK, or some other language...
I guess the rules would be:
-look inside of folder for the first exe file found.
-look for first icon resource in that found exe file.
-set the folder's icon to be that icon resouce.
Any takers? :P
