Disable Icon in PFA

Post by nerdweed »

Please allow a tweak to disable icons in PFA or allow to use custom icons

Reason: With lots of PFA's the PFA dialog takes long time to open. Similarly the POM also takes a while to comeup. The icon retrieval should be causing delay.

Icons
or allow to use custom icons
It's already there...

You can define the icon that's shown for each item in the the Portable Openwith Menu (POM). Simply append any file spec to the Caption (see above), separated by a | (pipe). It can be an icon file or any other file or folder with associated system icon. XYplorer native variables, environment variables, and portable paths are supported.

"No extension|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" *.>UEdit32

"PS|<xy>" jpg;png;gif>Photoshop

"Say hi!|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" jpg>::msg "hi";

"Say hi!|C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe" jpg>::msg "hi";

|"Append date|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" \;*>::rename b, '*-<datem yyyymmdd>'

Thanks Highend. It doesn't recognize <xyicons> over there though.

EXE icons have one benefit, if it doesn't show the icon - it is quick to catch that the path is invalid. So, if we get a tickbox to Enable/Disable exe icons, it would be very convenient.

Edit:
Found a convenient workaround. If I add "| ", it uses the folder icon. A quick search replace there can help achieve it.

Indeed, after mentioning it explicitly. I expected it to look directly over there, if an absolute path wasn't provided

Edit: Few moments with it, would still appreciate a quick way to enable/disable those icons.
