Does it even matter at all which method I choose?-mateek (November 01, 2011, 01:48 PM)

No, because MT Icon doesn't have code in it to support any of the methods you mention.  Currently, if you want to use separate instances of it, you will need to copy the exe into a separate folder and run it from there.

With the fact you can drag - drop the directory you want to process, it is very quick. multi-locations are not really necessary, unless your working with lots, then a multi-line field where each line contains a folder to be processed, may be useful

I have now used the util almost every day, and it has saved quite a bit of time.

The only improvements I can see other than above

1- Nested folders ( as mentioned before by Jody)


I have also played with Jody's source code, as I am still trying to get my head around how ahk works (maybe in another 20 years, I will achieve from scratch what Jody's has done here)
But i did succede in getting it to change the icon if it didnt contain a .jpg

Which leads me onto the possibility of multiple rules e.g.

Emtpy folder - red icon
Missing .jpg  - blue icon
Has      .txt  - orange icon

etc

each line would have a selector at the end, and only 1 line selectable

The only other option would be a combined rule where multiple criteria match give a specific colour icon

In all cases the standard yellow folder is displayed as being not needing attention

However thir developes in the future I am sure it will be good

OK I have been using this great util for some time now and can see a possible improvement in the original idea
The icons would be user defined, though I have created 5 icons set, 1 for each percentage. Each set has several size icons. They are based on the MS icons of Windows 7, though I am not sure if copyright apples as they are modifed from the original. Basically they are a standard yellow folder, that fills with red from the bottom. The greater teh content of the folder the more red is shown

Empty folder -      Green
<100MB               Yellow (default)
100MB-<1GB         25% Red
1GB-<10GB           50% Red
10GB-<50GB          60% Red
50GB-<100GB        80% Red
>100GB               100% Red

Hi there!

I am look for some software that does exactly what you are describing here.  Is this software available for use?  I am afraid have have never been on this forum before so I don't really know what it is about.

There's a link to the initial software I wrote in one of the previous posts.  You can download the file here:  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/snacks/MTIcon.zip
