Next release can be obtained here.

Major speed improvement, this one is best version so far. I am still improving my filesystem IO by creating threads, not fully functional yet so i deactivated, anyway, this release do perform 99,99% faster *dreams.... are my reality.... lalalala*

First threaded version for your pleasure is here.



Added:
- kung-fu skills

Removed:
- lameness

You might notice on Screenshot that many options are gone now. Technical they are still avail, just set invisible.
You might ask why? I have so much trust in myself that the point of speed has no more bad effects.
That will currently result in this situation:
If Folders are dropped, all subfolders will be scanned too.
I would like to hear feedback on that decision I made.

Bugs/Limitations:
- i need to lock save things, please wait until dropped files are fully loaded (as soon as statusbar tell something about adding icons....)
- you cannot drop that fast anymore (i already try to dynamic thread this sucker)
- some icons are wrong/blank, especially .url files show that behavior now, i am on it...

For interested how I now doing stuff:
- Mainthread (GUI) will search for files on drop. This search aint threaded yet since without files no work is possible, i might change that...
- When files are gathered a new thread populate found files in list
- When list is filled a new thread will add icons to entries

I don't see my attachment........

Fixed it for you - use [attachurl=#] for non-image files, in the future. (I guess the uploader should make this clearer. - I will get mouser to sort that

[attachthumb=1,msg425113]O, Zen Master KodeZwerg, a thousand pardons please for not responding sooner!  I got completely carried away with other matters in life and failed to thank you promptly.  I do appreciate all the work you have done on this programming.  And I hope you are having FUN with this project.

I downloaded the latest version of Shortcut Tuner.  I then inserted a folder of URL shortcuts.  I have NOT yet tried any LNK files.  Some of these URL shortcuts had the Google icon but others did not. I wanted ALL of the URL shortcuts to have the Google icon. I checkmarked the IconLocation and IconIndex boxes and clicked "Apply to All".  I got an "Unspecified error" message.

So, I then checkmarked the URL shortcuts that did NOT have the Google icon and tried to "Apply to Selected".  I received the same "Unspecified error" message then as well.  Attached is a screenshot of the URL folder, the program UI, and the error message.  I hope you will explain to me what I am doing incorrectly.

Also, most respectfully, are you taking over this programming request from skwire?  And, is there any chance a search capability (for URL and LNK files) will be built into the program?

Thank you again.  [attachthumb=1,msg425113]

To your found bug: fixed Version can be downloaded by clicking on this link.
I am really sorry, since this is a one man project and betatesting also just me since no one is interested, when i build this app, it was for .LNK files only, later i quick added .URL support.
At that point i missed to include proper save function for different filetypes.
Actually it tried to open a .URL file as a .LNK file = your found error happen.
Best of all, fixed another bug too by inspecting save routines, the build you have would overwrite same file again and again instead of changing filename :-)

To Icons: I do admit, due the way windows works, sometimes on the filebox a wrong icon appear (a blank one)
This is a victim to my threading approach, i somehow cannot fix it back to first version where all looked good all the time.
Second, on Editors page the bigger Icon may also not display correct one, same error like above.
As soon as you click ".." and just click "Ok" you should see now whatever icon actually is used.
I am sorry for this steps, i will try to fix that too but having trouble with access right for my nested threads.

To Search Request: I could easily add. Lets wait for Skwire release if that a) works better for you and b) your feedback decides :-]

To how you tried: That is exact way to use it
small how to again:
- first drop in something (folder / files) to play with
- as soon as "loading Icons" appear in status bar you may start to set files checkbox
- then select any file to be used as template
- modify template to your needs
- then set checkboxes for what to unify (in your case IconLocation and IconIndex)
- then click on "apply to selected"
- done.

I tried to change the icon on URL files using ShortcutTuner.  This did not work, so I tried an alternate method.  First, I changed the URL files to LNK files using skwire’s Earl.exec.  Next, I changed the icon on the LNK files using the ShortcutTuner.  This method worked, however, there are three drawbacks:

1) It is a two-stage process using 2 softwares.

2) The file type was changed from “Internet Shortcut” to “Shortcut”, so the original file type information was lost.  Now, I do not know if the shortcut is a shortcut to a web page or a shortcut to a file on my PC.

3) All the URL files had to be in the same folder in order to be changed.  This is where an initial search would be very helpful so that changes to each URL file could be made wherever that URL file resides.

Are there any questions that I need to answer at this point?

@KodeZwerg: No need to be quiet, KodeZwerg, and you weren't causing any trouble or intrusion at all. 

Glad to hear that SkWire.


@OP, i cant reproduce your found error, on my system all work like it should.
If i should fix anything, please do some screenshots of what you are doing and how you use my Application.
So i can understand whats going wrong. Be as precise as possible, thankyou.

Over here i can replace all Icons to one, no matter if .LNK or .URL



I am on vacation for a week.

Suggestion:  A "Check All Boxes" or "Select All" would be great in the Find and Replace window.

Do you mean something that will automatically check all the rows in the list?  If so, the button above the list does that.  See below:



Is this what you meant?

YES, Exactly!!!!

Is there anything I can do at this point in time to expedite this request???

Please let me know if anyone needs more information!

Thanks!

I've been working on it the past couple of days.  The LNK handling is done and I'm working on the URL handing right now.  It'll be my NANY this year so, rest assured, it'll get done.

I never received a notification that this blog had been updated or that I had received a reply, so I am just now learning that my software request has been completed.

I downloaded the SCURLed software and I am excited about trying it out.

I want to thank skwire and everybody else involved in seeing this project to completion.

Thank you very much.
