Archive icons

[j7n]

Is it possible for Total Commander to show associated icons for archives instead of its icon? Different archive formats become harder to tell apart if they have the same icon.

You can chose in Preferences/Configuration/Display - Icons the option "Only Standard Icons" you should get what you want.
You can jump to icon config using command cm_IconConfig and switch manually.

If I choose "Only standard icons" then all other icons disappear but archive icons that are private to TC stay. That is obvious from the button group: going upwards shows more icons, and the default choice is the highest. What I want is to show associated icons from the system on archives.

cm_IconConfig opens the same page in preferences.

You can't tell Total Commander to use associated icons for archives because the files are opened internally. But you can assign different icons yourself like this:
1. Menu Files - Internal Associations
2. Add
3. Enter the file types like this (separated by spaces): *.rar *.7z
4. Click OK
5. Click "Change icon"
6. Pick a program with >> button (e.g. winrar.exe)
7. Choose an icon
8. Close all dialogs with OK (leaving the open action blank)

This works well.
