No more file-specific icons
Hi,
Since I updated to Android 12 (MIUI Global 13.0.6), there are no more specific icons for the file extensions. Next to each file only a small gear wheel is displayed as an icon. Unfortunately, clearing the cache did not bring any success. Is this a bug or a MIUI problem? Is there anything else I could try (besides clearing all TC data)?
Thanks for any tips

Re: No more file-specific icons
It sounds like you are using a launch helper app which catches each file association and then shows a custom chooser dialog. If this is the case, Total Commander will show the icon of that app instead of the app you choose.

Hmm, I have not set up a launcher, I use the default system launcher.
And before that, with Android 11, everything was still ok.

Re: No more file-specific icons
Could it help to reinstall TC? Can I export the TC settings?
Or where else could I look so that the icons in TC are displayed correctly again?
I am very grateful for any tips.

Re: No more file-specific icons
No, the only thing you could check is whether you have defined any internal associations.

Re: No more file-specific icons
TC now knows how to open (forward to a web browser) .url files. The Stuntzurl application can be uninstalled... However, .url files now do not have an icon.
How can an icon be set for .url? Perhaps by expanding Internal associations so that it is possible to associate only an icon with the (.url) extension, without associating a command/application (as is possible in TC for Windows)? Or come up with some other solution?
What do you think, Mr. Gishler?

You could define an internal association where you can choose an icon for .url files.

I associate some PNG icon with .URL files - OK... But what should I write/choose under "Command:"?
"Commander:com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander:.TotalCommander"... or "Browser:com.kiwibrowser.browser:com.google.android.apps.chrome.IntentDispatcher"... or leave the field empty (then only "&::" is entered?)... no matter what I put - the URL no longer opens from Total Commander, i.e. TC does not call the web browser.
I have TC v3.31 installed, perhaps this is fixed in newer versions?

Re: No more file-specific icons
It should work when you leave the command: field empty and just set the file type (MIME type) and check "content://URL".
