Missing icons using Windows 8.1

[4kanders]

I cannot get the icons to show up properly in the directory tree or in the window display. All .exe files that should show the embedded icon are just a generic blank sheet of paper icon. Windows Explorer works fine and I have tried other programs that work fine as well. I have looked at all of my settings and they match my other PC that is using Windows 7. I cannot find what else to do so they will display properly. I have sent an email to support but have not heard back yet.

Have tried that numerous times. Only refreshes the tree icons. After you close and reopen, all icons are wrong again.

Untick this:
Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Use generic icons for super-fast browsing

[4kanders]

Already is unchecked. I have tried both ways, no difference.

[4kanders]

Is there any way to fix this? I have tried reinstalling even after uninstalling and running a registry check and still does not work. I have even tried the beta version and it does not work.

[bdeshi]

enter ::fresh; in the addressbar and press ENTER. Do icons look okay in the newly-opened XY window?

[4kanders]

No change in icons at all.

[admin]

Wasn't that recently fixed? In other words: Did you already try it with the recent beta version?

[4kanders]

Latest did not fix this nor the latest beta. I had to reinstall Windows 8 to fix this. Now works fine. Funny this trouble only showed up in XYplorer.

[admin]

Cannot reproduce, but next beta will try a fix in the dark.

Hi All,

I've got the same problem...
Before this I used Microangelo (I'm not sure if this has sth to do with it).
Tried to correct this by resseting the Windows ICON cache, but didn't help.
Any Idea?

Regards...

I also have an issue with white icons in XYPlorer, not exactly the same as above, but maybe related :
I use SageThumbs to display image thumbnails as icons for image files : Icons are fine in Windows Explorer, but icons are white in XYPlorer.
see attached screencaps. this is using latest beta under Win7 x64.

the icon/small thumbnail display correctly in the status bar and in the 'Properties' and 'Meta' tabs, but the file list is bad.
('use genereic icons for superfast browsing' is unchecked, tried to 'refresh icons' and wiped icons.db without success)

Issues might be related to the Windows skin you are using. The other factor is probably XY's speed optimizations.
