The speedup might be covered by Windows caching. But theoretically there should be a notable speedup.Marco wrote:12.40.0005: I don't see any noticeable speedup.
Anyway I've already found my nirvana with generic+CFI.
Ftr, my laptop is not that crappy, i5 480m at 2.67 GHz, w7 sp1 64 bit.
That would mean generic icons just for folders. But my latest speedup attempt (v12.40.0005) will do exactly this for most folders automatically, so I think we don't need it anymore.FeatureCreep wrote:In that case I would ditch the desktop.ini functionality completely within XYadmin wrote:Yes, but there is a little problem: Since patterns might need to respect (switch /d) folders customized by system (desktop.ini), I first need to get the system icon to know what it is.Marco wrote:@FluxTorpedoe
Beautiful icons!
Speed:that's exactly what I discovered. XY first gets the real icon and then applies the CFI in case of generic off. My observation is: shouldn't CFI come "logically" first?
Nevertheless I'm currrently testing out some ideas I had for further speed up...
or
make it a user choice between desktop.ini and PFI (i.e. not both)
or
have an option to switch it off.
1. It would speed up list browsing.
2. If the user really needs to see a system assigned desktop.ini icon in XY they can just reference it with PFI.
[Lists of system icon locations could be posted to the forum for each version of the OS and users could just paste the entries they want into the PFI list]
3. Any other user created desktop.ini files (for viewing custom icons outside of XY) are likely to duplicate PFI entries anyway.
Also regarding speed, is there a much of a boost to be gained by
1. using smaller icons (i.e. without 256x256 size and/or less color depth)
2. referencing individual ico file rather than icons embedded within icl libraries or (sometimes huge) application binaries?

Great!FluxTorpedoe wrote:Only tested it for 1mn but... WOW (again)!!! You did it!
Now it really feels like CFIs are native... I can't see them being built-up, congrats!
It was you who kicked me to look into it again, thanks!the_hyrax_lord wrote:I see you can easily set a custom icon for any folder with no specific icon, but can I do the same for files?
Code: Select all
*. matches all files with no extension
Sorry, should've mentioned I saw that, but I'm not talking about files with no extension; I'm talking about files such as .dat, .cnt, .gnd (that's just looking in the XYplorer folder itself), that all have just a generic icon.serendipity wrote:the_hyrax_lord wrote:I see you can easily set a custom icon for any folder with no specific icon, but can I do the same for files?Source: http://www.xyplorer.com/release_12.40.htmCode: Select all

There's a little cheat sheet right at the bottom.
Code: Select all
txt;lng;ini;xml;locale>notepad++.icoSo the only way to do it is to add each extension manually, in this case? That's what I thought it might have to come to.Regmos wrote:Like thisExtensions separated by a ; and an icon from C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Icons\Code: Select all

I noticed this too, the tree is not getting refreshed properly.nerdweed wrote:Don,
A glitch with open folders. The open/selected state icon doesn't get applied to a folder and any of its sub-folders if you create subfolders in it. Gets rectified by a restart, but as soon as another folder is created, it re-occurs.
