I think the CFI solution is very cool (my God, I even use it myself)! :party: (see change log v24.40.0201 - 2023-05-30 15:23: viewtopic.php?p=211506#p211506)
Wow, dope! I really need to keep on track with the betas more. Works perfectly. :party:

Code: Select all

B:prop:#empty:2|pf //s-shape, w-wide, f-frame,b-2pixels
check the tick box to turn it on and "Define" the text and background colours to personal taste - and job done!
That was my solution earlier, though my way to go about it is slightly different so in case it would help:

Actually, for I like to recognize empty files too, I set size:0 to a gray name, checking Configuration... > General: Trees and List > Always show folder sizes for folder sizes to be considered. It's not instant but decently quick, so now I recognize empty folder structures that way. Could be used alongside Windows' folder thumbnails as well.
The thumbnails were definitely preferred, and CFI is definitely the solution. :D

Latest beta (24.40.0209) has a few problems.

I compared it to version 24.30.0100.

128x128

128x128 file & folder icons are now bigger compared to 24.30.0100. Personally I want them smaller compared to thumbnails of images & videos.
I circled red in the GIF, in v24.40.0209, folder icon in tab bar is invisible and icon in location bar become a file icon.

I agree they should be smaller. Next beta should be better.

But I cannot reproduce those white breadcrumb / empty tab header icons. What's going on there? :veryconfused:

Yeah I couldn't reproduce as well but I will report here if I see it again. (I have ThumbsShell=1)

I have no idea how to find the file path for the original folder icon(s). Apparently, they're embedded in a system file called shell32.dll.mun now?

Code: Select all

sysicons "%winsysdir%\shell32.dll", 0, "e"; //32 x 32
Here it looks like they could be number 4 or 5.
