1.4.5: Invalid icon for folder
XnView: MP 1.4.5 - 64-bit
OS: Windows MacOSX 12 (Monterey)
When one creates new folder, but problem is, that the icon of the folder looks like icon for file.
Effect: Bad icon leads to misleading UI. One expects to see folder, but see something, that looks like a anonymous file.
To reproduce - it is trivial, just see images:
Create new folder in XnView: See, how the new icon looks like - it is not icon of the folder, but looks like icon of some file:
Actual behaviour (bug): Icon of the folder look like an anonymous icon of file
Expected behaviour: Icon of the folder should have the same classical icon, like all folders have.

Re: 1.4.5: Invalid icon for folder
One more thing:
After one restarts the XnView, then the problem disappears and the icon looks correct - like folder.
So this problem happens at the moment of creation this new folder and problem exists, while the XnView is still open.
After restart of XnView, the folder, which was having the bad icon previously, has the correct icon of folder.

And one additional note:
The same problem (bad icon) happens, if you just Rename any existing folder.
The icon immediately changes, to the wrong one, which looks like file icon.

Re: 1.4.5: Invalid icon for folder
Icon is good during reanaming, and as soon as you validate, the icon is bad, right?
