Overlay Icons disappear if cm_SrcThumbs is set

[Dennis_Stevens]

This appears also in 9.22a, so I am not sure if this is really a bug or happens intentionally. But anyway it is strange ...

Without cm_SrcThumbs activated, the overlay-Icons for (e.g. for Shortcuts) appear correctly. But as soon as cm_SrcThumbs is set, they do all disappear.

Works fine here - see: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/overlays.png

What is your setting for IconOverlays in your wincmd.ini file?

It looks like this to me right now.

Code: Select all

IconOverlays=1

Click on button with command: cm_SrcThumbs

With
- Button with command: cm_OpenDesktop ||| \\Desktop\*.* --> all icons for *.lnk files are displayed correctly!

- Button with command: cd "%UserProfile%\Desktop" ||| C:\Users\USER\Desktop\*.*
   --> the icons for *.lnk files are displayed very briefly and immediately hidden
- Button with command: cd C:\Users\Public\Desktop\
   --> the icons for *.lnk files are displayed very briefly and immediately hidden
- D:\Test folder\
   --> Icons for *.lnk files are displayed very briefly and hidden immediately

If I click on the button with command: cm_SwitchHidSys, then I can see the image preview very briefly,
if I release the left mouse button again.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

It might be because a plugin is responsible for displaying the thumbnails for .lnk files.

What is you setting for:
ThumbPlgTypes=
ThumbExplTypes=
ThumbIrfXnTypes=
ThumbTxtTypes=

Try and add |*.lnk to the end of the ThumbPlgTypes= setting to exclude plugins from displaying thumbnails for .lnk files

Indeed overlay icons are only shown for icons, not thumbnails.

Thanks for your support!

These are my settings:

Code: Select all

ThumbPlgTypes=*.*
ThumbExplTypes=*.* | *.htm *.html *.lnk
ThumbIrfXnTypes=*.*
ThumbTxtTypes=*.txt *.ini *.mnu *.inc *.lng

This setting has partially helped, namely for the folder "D:\Testfolder\":

Code: Select all

ThumbPlgTypes=*.* | *.lnk

Some *.lnk files with the image preview were displayed immediately.

The interesting thing for me was that I had to create some - already working - shortcuts new in the folder "D:\Testfolder\",
(e.g. vlc.exe.lnk --> C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe) so that the image preview was displayed correctly afterwards.

The buttons with the desktop shortcuts did not change the image preview view (see above).

The icons of C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ are displayed on your screen, but not on mine.

Hmm on my Windows 10 I use:

Code: Select all

ThumbPlgTypes=*.ico *.dll *.icl *.wdp *.thm *.ttf *.fon  *.swf *. 
ThumbExplTypes=*.jpg *.avi *.mp4 *.wmv *.mov *.mpeg 
ThumbIrfXnTypes=*.*
ThumbTxtTypes=*.txt *.ini *.mnu *.inc *.lng

And on Windows 7 I use:

Code: Select all

ThumbPlgTypes=*.*
ThumbExplTypes=*.jpg *.avi *.mp4 *.wmv *.mov *.mpeg *mpg *.m4v | *.htm* *.lnk
ThumbIrfXnTypes=*.*
ThumbTxtTypes=*.txt *.ini *.mnu *.inc *.lng *.htm*

and both shows overlays on folder icons

Thank you for sharing your parameters with me.

With me it is under Windows 10 Pro (x64) Version 1903 (OS build 18362.449) again as described before.
I will leave it that way with this topic for me, because this view is not a problem for me.
