Two questions to end the month on

Post by Irwin of Upton »

When in the Window of List Management - Favorite Files is there a method to use a special icon instead of the automatic one?

When using Floating Preview can the graphic's name be made to appear at the bottom of the frame instead of the top? Or even better reverse the top and bottom data!

Yes, on your first question. Use a format similar to this...

Code: Select all

"vTBs|D:\Graphics\Icons\tool_01.ico" ::load "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\vTB_v1.05.xys"
"IP Configuration|:shellprops" run "C:\Windows\SysNative\cmd.exe /C ""C:\Windows\System32\ipconfig.exe /all"" | clip", ,2,0; text "<clipboard>", 700, 900, "IP Config",,;
"1by1|<xyicons>\music_01.ico" D:\Music\1by1\1by1.exe
which is: "name of program (anything you want to call it), then a pipe | and then the path and name of the icon - all in quotes, then a space and the exec file to run. If your icons are in the default XY icons path, <xyicons>, you can use <xyicons>\icon name.ico.

On question 2, sorry no, that's not possible at the moment.

Whew! That is a complex answer to what seemed like a simple question! Was hoping for something like the way Custom File Icons work. If it becomes clear will try it.

Too bad question #2 has no solution whatsoever. Usually when looking at pictures (newspapers, TV, museums) the caption appears at the bottom.

Thank you for your time answering!

Sorry if the reply was a bit complex. Those were just examples...bottom line is:
"Title|icon/path/name" exec file/path/name
which is most like the 3rd example above and actually easier than Customized File Icons.

"Title|icon/path/name" exec file/path/name
Now that is comprehensible. Many thanks to you for the clarification. Am now happily looking at that custom icon in Favorite Files.
