Icons can be displayed in the file windows to find files faster. There are various options to change the icon displaying. Some of them can be changed in the configuration dialog others have to be manually changed in the main settings file.
Basic icon configuration
To set the icon configuration naviagte to the display page in the configuration dialog. There is a group "Show symbols to the left of the filename". These options are mainly to adapt Total Commander to your computers performance. You have to choose one of the four basic options:
- All associated + EXE/LNK (slow, 32-bit only)
- All
- Only standard symbols
- No symbols
- To improve the performance on slow media one of the following options may be of interest for you:
- EXE/LNK not on floppy
- EXE/LNK not on net
Overlay icons
To display overlay icons navigate to the display page in the configuration dialog. To display overlay icons activate the checkbox "Show overlay icons, e.g. for links".
Icon loading behavior
Loading icons for executable and shortcut files can be time consuming. When entering a directory these icons can be loaded in a delayed way. While the filelist is displayed almost immediately as if you had chosen the "All" option icons of executable and shortcut files are loaded in background (=1). If you deactivate (=0) the setting the file list is displayed when all icons even from executable and shortcut files were loaded. The default value is activated (=1).
Main configuration file setting:
[Configuration] IconsInThread=1
Display Explorer-like icons
By default Total Commander shows folder icons taken from an internal library or a user-defined icon library. Using IconsSpecialFolders Total Commander displays the same icons as Explorer. This includes displaying of folder-specific icons. But enabling this settings is not enough. In addition it's required to set the Read-Only or System attribute.
[Configuration] IconsSpecialFolders=0 // Disable IconsSpecialFolders=1 // Enable
ShellExtIcons=1 IconLib Showicons=2 ShowEXEandLNKicons=1 Iconsize=10 Iconsize32=16
