files icons don't work properly

Post by zzjean »

After modifying a directory icon, some icons are no longer displayed. But, not systematically. I have external hard drives, and for some it works for others not.
On my internal hard drive some directories have the icon, others don't. Can you help me ?

Thank you

Restart XY. If that does not help, restart Windows. If that does not help, come back. :cup:

Bonjour,
Thank you. I've done all that. It's always the same. I don't undestand why

Do you see the same issue in File Explorer?

Remember that order matters in the CFI (Customize File Icons) menu. Also, use Wildcards to match more directories successfully.

If you can, I recommend using relative paths. You don't have to use <xyicons> like I do, but it keeps your code readable, so months from now when you look back on it you'll easily be able to figure out what's going on.

Here's a few screenshots, maybe they'll help clear some things up...
