Dynamic Icons - Not Showing Thumbnail Icons.
« on: September 09, 2024, 11:14:37 pm »
Hello

I was wondering about this issue with Dynamic Icons.

- First I turn Dynamic Icon on for all the desktop. "System Setup - Workplace Shell" under the "Icon Size" tab, "Icon Display = Dynamic Size".

- Second, I set "SET BIGICONSPATH=C:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS" or any other icon theme.

The issue is that if you you can not no longer see the icon thumbnail (?) that PMView can do that to an PNG, BMP or PTR image. I think it puts the Thumbnail on the EAs or something.

Workaround 1: There is a work around to disable "Dynamic Icon" on the folder, but it is more like a workarround instead of how one will like to see the icons. And also the icons will get smaller to the default size.
--

Workaround 2: Remove the PNG, BMP, PTR images from the PNG Icon Theme. I like this one since the icons are not small, but for the other images that does not has "thumbnail" it will not show the icon of the theme.
--

Do you think it will be good to request the author to try to find some solution for this? Like trying first to display the "thumbnail" of the image file instead setting the default image icon first by default?



Any other workarounds? Did my issue makes sense ? (sometimes it is hard for me to explain desktop/GUI things  ;D)

Regards
