Sometimes EXE icons are not shown in thumb view of FX plugin

[MVV]

I don't know exact reason, some plugins show icons in thumb view, but some - not.

In my Virtual Panel extracted icons are shown in brief/full mode (plugin extracts icons and return them to TC with FS_ICON_EXTRACTED_DESTROY value), but in thumb mode TC shows default icons for EXEs (but my plugin still returns extracted icons to TC! TC asks for icon, plugin returns FS_ICON_DELAYED, then TC asks for icon again with flag FS_ICONFLAG_BACKGROUND and plugin returns extracted icon).

What is really strange - if I switch TC brief mode icon size to 32x32 and then open VP folder in brief mode and then switch to thumb mode, TC will show extracted icons in thumb mode!

Sample FX plugin can't show icons in thumb view too (but it shows them in brief/full modes; also it shows icons in thumb view after switching to 32x32 icons in brief mode!).

However, plugins TempPanel and FileRedirector are able to show icons in thumb view... But I don't have sources so can't find out why.

What TC version? 32-bit or 64-bit?

[MVV]

32-bit. Sample plugin had been tested in debug version that included in archive.

Christian, can you reproduce this behaviour?

Not tested yet, it's on my to do list.

I could indeed reproduce it! The problem was that TC was trying to extract small icons instead of large icons by mistake. Please test with beta 8, it should be fixed now.

Thanks, Christian, it works with TC 8 beta 8!

But it is still a bit interesting why some plugins was able to display large icons with previous versions.

They probably didn't use the "delayed" option. That was the only part not working with large icons.
