Do I sense some internal resistance?

That was a circuitous path to that current pun.

-wraith808 (March 20, 2019, 02:20 PM)

Circuitous?  More like a straight conduit to the pun...

no doubt at some point we'll loop back to the beginning again

-Target (March 21, 2019, 12:51 AM)

But only if we switch to a closed-circuit design.

As long as he didn't charge into somebody, which might be considered battery, there should be no need to get the coppers involved.

I've enjoyed sWeather for several years...and, rely on it faithfully every day.  Thanks for creating it.  I seem to recall that previous versions (several back) listed update information (date/time, etc.) in the tooltip.  That seems to have disappeared in recent versions.  I was wondering whether it was omitted intentionally and whether it could be added again to the tooltip? Thanks again for your software.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Batch Editor for URL and LNK Properties

« on: February 25, 2019, 10:31 AM »

Would it be possible to mass edit the URL/INI files so that they contain ONLY the absolutely necessary lines, such as [DEFAULT],  [InternetShortcut], and IconFile, and then delete everything else, such as [DOC_iframe436], [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}], etc.?  I have noticed that I have URL files between 1 and 3 kb.  Maybe the larger URL files have a lot of junk in them which could be deleted?

-berkland (February 25, 2019, 09:40 AM)

Sure, I could delete all the other sections but what if they're necessary to the operation of that particular URL and the website it references?  As a test, you could try deleting those sections and their contents yourself to see if that makes the icon show properly and still allows the URL file to open the website as you'd expect.

So, URL files are notoriously finicky.

-berkland (February 25, 2019, 09:40 AM)

Yes, they are.  Hell, I've already developed software that converts Steam URL files into regular Windows shortcuts to get around the icons not showing properly.

https://www.donation...forum/?topic=26167.0

Is that maybe why no programmers have ever been able to develop software that can mass edit URL files......

-berkland (February 25, 2019, 09:40 AM)

I, and others, have developed software to mass edit URL files.  The problem is that the operating system doesn't want to play nice.

I'm not really sure what to tell you.  URL files are notoriously finicky, as you are finding out.  By default, your computer has a default icon that shows for URL files.  Typically, this is going to be your default browser — Firefox, it appears to be in your case (based on your previous screenshots).  That's why your first example, even without the IconFile/IconIndex lines, shows the icon you expect.  As you can see in your other example, SCURLed has put in the appropriate IconFile/IconIndex lines in there and your system still doesn't want to show the proper icon.  In a URL/INI file, each section header is contained with square brackets, e.g., [DEFAULT], [DOC_iframe436], [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}], etc.  Of course, the [InternetShortcut] is one of those sections, too.  The fact that the icon won't show for you could have something to do with all the other sections in that particular URL file.  I simply don't know.  Have you tried rebooting since modifying those test files?
