[8.0ß25] Drive icon inconsistency

[cwahlgren]

Hi,

There is an inconsistency between the icons on drive button toolbar and the icons in the drive dropdown list.

I have some USB hard drives that shown with a Removable Storage icon on the toolbar (and listed under Hard Drives in Explorer) but on the drive dropdown list the USB Hard disks are shown as normal hard disks. Other removable storage mediums such as memory cards are consistent).

In the drive dropdown list, TC has to get the icons in real time when the list is opened. Therefore it stops waiting for the function which checks for USB if that function takes more than half a second to complete. In this case, only normal icons are shown. There is no such limit in the drive buttonbar, which is shown permanently.

So there is no correlation to what Windows Explorer says are Hard Disks Drives and Removable Disk Drives for the toolbar icons? The toolbar icons doesn't match what Explorer says, but the dropdown list is actually correct in this regard (that is, showing external USB disks as hard disks and USB Flash disks as removable).

(This is definitely not a big matter, just happened to notice the differences.)

This was a change in TC8: TC now also shows harddisks connected via USB and firewire with the "removable" icons, just like USB sticks.

You can set CheckUsbHdd=0 manually in wincmd.ini to turn off this check.
