Multi-icon source
Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:12
Menu caption and CFI should support something like:
"Test|C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll(3)"
"Test|C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll(3)"

Would be too slow.

Slow? I thought it's the standard way to get icon, so it must be an easy-and-fast way.
I install 2 OS and whenever I switch between XP-Win7, icons in <xyicons> differ so much from shell32.dll

There are tools to extract ICO files from a DLL. You could do that...

but how to assign NotepadXP.ico to menu1 if you're in XP and Notepad7.ico if you're in Win7?

Difficult since the idea of the portable icons is exactly the opposite: Have the same ions everywhere.
Maybe this helps?

+ Tweak to overwrite the default icons path (<xydata>\Icons\, and
<xyicons>). The value can be absolute or portable/relative to app
path. For example,
[Settings]
IconsPath=Icons
will resolve to K:\XY\Icons\ if XYplorer.exe is located in K:\XY\.
That way you can also centralize the icons pool in a team context,
but make sure that the server is available else startup will slow
down and no cute icons.

i did that and this is the best to do, because - even i 'm still using XP... yes... - future time is coming so thatThere are tools to extract ICO files from a DLL. You could do that
big video / music softwares will work only on Seven, Huit, Nine, or Windows Ten ( 100 To SSD for Windows 10 + 50 Go for having backward ergonomies... )
Having real .ico files is the best way to be sure to see the same icons i want to see, even in 10 / 20 years.
if i want to change my mind, I control that. Not Smalllimp...
( oops... Microsoft )
