Using shell32 icons in favorite items

[terrytw]

Hi all,

New to XYplorer! It is a great tool, I am still fiddling around, but love the functionality!

I have a question that cannot be answered by any previous post, so here I come...

I found that you can use shell32 icons in CTB like this:

Code: Select all

%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll /21

I also found that I can use custom ico file or CTB icon in the favorite icon like this

Code: Select all

"Name|path-to-ico"tab("new","path-to-file");

or

Code: Select all

"Name|:CTB-ico-name"tab("new","path-to-file");

But I cannot get the favorite icon to use the shell32.dll.

I have tried

Code: Select all

"Name|%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll /21"tab("new","path-to-file");

or

Code: Select all

"Name|'%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll /21'"tab("new","path-to-file");

It does not work...

Can someone please help?
Thank you!!

Well, it's simply not supported in that context. I might add that some day though.

It is good to know, I won't be banging my head against it anymore.

Not a deal breaker by any means though. I will just adapt to it.

It should work in the next beta version (v24.20.0006).

Would it be possible to also enable icon index for CFA if its not too difficult?

Sure, no big deal.
