Icons for .ico files are not displayed

[Horst.Epp]

The icons for *.ico files are displayed blank for me in the current Window 11 version (see signature).
All other programs I tried show correct the content as icons.
Tested with:
Explorer
Everything
Free Commander
XYplorer

Wincmd.ini contains Showicons=2
This also happens with a fresh ini.

That's because TC only tries to load the icons when the DefaultIcon field is set to %1 or "%1". There is no chance to find out that there are per file icons with the registry entries in that thread.

The other apps seem to let the Explorer load all the icons, which I don't want to do because then associated icons will be shown as a sheet with a mini version of the icon in it, which is almost impossible to recognize.

Sie können es wie folgt manuell ändern:
1. Regedit.exe starten
2. Im Pfadfeld oben folgendes einfügen:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc\DefaultIcon
3. Im rechten Fenster auf (Standard) doppelklicken und den Eintrag dort ersetzen durch:
%1

Der Originaleintrag ist ein Symbol einer App:
@{Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2022.31110.14005.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe?ms-resource://Microsoft.Windows.Photos/Files/Images/PhotosLogoExtensions.png}

You can change it manually as follows:
1. Start Regedit.exe
2. In the path field above, insert the following:

Code: Select all

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc\DefaultIcon

3. In the right-hand window, double-click on (Default) and replace the entry there with:

Code: Select all

%1

The original entry is a symbol of an app:
@{Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2022.31110.14005.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe?ms-resource://Microsoft.Windows.Photos/Files/Images/PhotosLogoExtensions.png}

The change worked for me immediately and without a PC or TC restart!
Thanks a lot!

This should be fixed in TC 11 beta, please test it. The problem was that the .ico files were associated with a Windows App (not a desktop program).

This should be fixed in TC 11 beta, please test it. ...

Thanks for the bugfix (still untested by me)!

Mmh, the display of the icons works for me with the/your above registry entry (unchanged since then).
I would also like to leave it at that.

@Horst.Epp
Can you please check this issue again and confirm the bugfix?

You could change the registry key back to
@{Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2022.31110.14005.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe?ms-resource://Microsoft.Windows.Photos/Files/Images/PhotosLogoExtensions.png}
to check whether it still shows icons then. If not, you can simply change it back to %1.

Thank you for posting the test scenario.

1. TC started as administrator
2. regedit.exe <ENTER> entered in the TC command line
3. Entered the following in the Regedit - path field and pressed ENTER:

   Code: Select all

   Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc\DefaultIcon

4. Surprise! This value was already there (instead of %1):

   Code: Select all

   @{Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2022.31060.30005.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe?ms-resource://Microsoft.Windows.Photos/Files/Assets/PhotosLogoExtensions.png}

5. Default app for file type ICO still detected: Windows Photo viewer (German: Windows-Fotoanzeige)

According to my current understanding - thank you for the bugfix and your efforts!

03.05.23 Release Total Commander 11.00 beta 1
30.01.23 Fixed: No per file icon images for .ico files were shown on Windows 11, due to file association with Windows app (32/64)
