added option

-c.gingerich (July 19, 2016, 09:41 AM)

it should be
IconResource=uni.ico,0
not
IconFile=uni.ico,0

Idea: if icon field is empty, delete IconResource=XXX.ico,0 from desktop.ini

if this version

-skwire (July 18, 2016, 05:45 PM)

It seems perfect now. The last problem is not so important:
we have to say windows explorer to refresh folder's icon. If a folder already had an icon, it takes forever to see the new one.

PS: c.gingerich's app uses the whole window for drag n drop and automatically detects where ico and folder should go, so it is more convinient on a touchscreen.

If it is not hard for you, please replace
IconFile=XXX.ico
IconIndex=0
with
IconResource=XXX.ico,0

Does it really matter

-skwire (July 18, 2016, 05:38 PM)

IconResource=XXX.ico,0 has more priority, if desktop.ini already has it, IconFile will be ignored.

I tried under Win 7 and 10 to change folder icon with right click-properties-customize-change icon

Windows writes in both cases IconResource=XXX.ico,0, so we can delete
IconFile=XXX.ico
IconIndex=0
completely. It is not needed at all.

confirmed

-Rockets (July 18, 2016, 03:54 PM)

unconfirmed. IconResource is working under win 10. What permissions does your app set?I will try to understand why.

PS: Windows 10 doesn't refresh icon folder everytime. I will try to find any solution.
Found this:



Use a shell function that will notify all running Explorer windows to use the updated desktop.ini. This API is exposed in VBScript via Shell.Application.NameSpace("folder\").MoveHere:

[Select]

@echo off
for /r %%I in (*.ico) do (
    attrib -h -s -r "%temp%\desktop.ini" >nul
    (
        echo [.ShellClassInfo]
        echo IconResource="%%~nxI",0
    )>"%temp%\desktop.ini"
    attrib +h +s "%temp%\desktop.ini"
    (
        echo set shell = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)
        echo set folder = shell.NameSpace^("%%~dpI"^)
        echo folder.MoveHere "%temp%\desktop.ini", 4+16+1024
    )>"%temp%\updateIcon.vbs"
    cscript //nologo //b "%temp%\updateIcon.vbs"
)
pause

P.S. I forgot most of VB so whoever remembers it may rewrite the entire code in VBS (embedded).


How can I run this code?

I added xxxx.ico

-c.gingerich (July 18, 2016, 03:22 PM)

don't see it
can you make it optional what to use?

One more problem, how can we refresh icons cache in Win 7 and 10? Rebuild Shell Icon Cache doesn't work for me

Can anyone else confirm that?

-c.gingerich (July 18, 2016, 03:22 PM)

confirmed, win 10 home. It seems I have to reedit all my desktop.ini files if I upgrade my main PC to Win 10. I am on Win 7 now.

Added icon index option

-c.gingerich (July 18, 2016, 02:12 PM)

it still uses:
IconFile=XXX.ico
IconIndex=0
can you replace these 2 lines with:
IconResource=XXX.ico,0
?

.ico file is not hidden anymore, desktop.ini is.

If I add folder where I already changed icon with FID, drag n drop still broken for this folder.

Please add * (include all folders, empty and not) option to "MT Icon". c.gingerich's FolderIconDrop works well!

Drag/drop a folder and icon and press Go!

-c.gingerich (July 18, 2016, 10:24 AM)

it seems just what I need, is it possible to keep .ico file name? And make autoclose optional, please.
If I drag and drop the first time, everything is OK. If I drag and drop the same folder 2nd time, it doesn't work. Browse works.

Some icon changer apps write IconResource and not IconFile.
If there are both IconResource and IconFile in desktop.ini, IconFile is ignored.
It would be better to replace
IconIndex=0
iconfile=mynewshinyicon.ico
with
IconResource=mynewshinyicon.ico,0

I tried MT Icon. I like it, could u also modify it to change icon for all subfolders? Regardless empty or not. Like adding * to allowed filenames.

You were right:
The desktop.ini should have the attribute of system, and the folder containing it also needs to have the attribute of system for it to have an effect.

That was a fast reply, I added "hidden" to 3.

First, a little bit of theory. What happens when a person sets a custom icon for a folder in Windows 7?
1. Attributes of a Folder change to Read-only (of the folder, NOT content!).
2. A hidden system file desktop.ini created inside that folder, which contains a link to the icon.

Possible app:
1. drag n drop folder
2. drag n drop icon
3. icon is copied to the folder, desktop.ini is created. ini and ico set hidden

desktop.ini content:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=mynewshinyicon.ico,0

or

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconIndex=0
iconfile=mynewshinyicon.ico

Hello every1,

i want to make a lot of iOS png icons for xLaunchpad for Windows. I made a lot online, but http://quirco.com/iPhoneIcon is gone forever. No answers from the author anymore.

I had already one exe to add reflections to pngs, I need sth similar for making iOS icons just drag and dropping pics:
attachthumb=1


Extra options are welcome, but not important. See 2:


Here is an archive with 3 pngs to make 118x120 icon and 2 pngs as source pic and end result.
attachthumb=3


Here are all 15 PNGs, that I found for 5 variants. Not important.
attachthumb=4


Read from "Icon Generation" to understand why 3 pngs for one icon:
http://iconharvester.com/themers-guide/

My icons made with the webpage:


Thanks for your attention!

Please add an option not to build a list of files if the folder stays the same, I just love to click "pic random pic" many times, but building a list for 200GB pics it takes time to build.

One more thought:

You have an option called "Method=". You can code "Method=0" or "Method=-1" to enable autofill and disable "FolderName="
