[8.0ß23] Missing file icons in Win 8

[umbra]

TC doesn't show icons for some file types. From a few tests I think this applies only to file types registered to open in Metro applications. Also I have noticed, that files in virtual folders have proper icons.

Tested both 32b and 64b versions of TC8.0 beta 23 on Windows 8 CP.

I haven't checked that yet - the normal Windows functions to extract icons may not work with Metro apps.

Beta 24 works fine, thanks.

Thanks! The problem was that the "DefaultIcon" entry contained really strange data like this:

Code: Select all

@{Microsoft.Reader_6.2.8232.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe?ms-resource://Microsoft.Reader/Files/Images\ReaderFileLogo.png}

I have no idea how to handle that, so I just call GetFileInfo() now with the extension to get the class icon.

Hi. Metro-style apps are archives/folders, not binaries. And the code in your example is a path to an icon inside such registered app. Your example in reality points to

Code: Select all

"%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Reader_6.2.8232.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Images\ReaderFileLogo.png"

However I could not find more useful information on that. But your approach seems to be good.

Thanks for the info! I tried to find a function to access this "ms-resource" URL type, but couldn't find anything so far.
