%1 defaulticon for .ani files too

[ckv]

Ico and cur file associations already has the "%1" defaulticon (The files "own icon"). Ani files should also have the %1 defaulticon.

Could you/someone explain a bit more what "%1" default icon is meant to be?

Hello Helmut

our Finnish compadre is talking about filetypes with icons inside.

Some filetypes really shouldn't have an icon assigned to them, because they have their own icon inside. This particularly is the case with .ico, .cur and .ani files...

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\anifile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

The best icon for .ico is now readed for thumbnail

I was counting on that Pierre would know exactly what I mean.

This pic will demonstrate the problem with the curren .ani file association:

Thank you for your explanation, ckv. There's some newbie forum users (like me) who don't know about 1% default icons.

Hello !

• That's a feature I can set in Total Commander for *.ICO, *.CUR and *.ANI files. It needed the following registry stuff :

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico] 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico] 
@="icofile" 
"PerceivedType"="image" 
"Content Type"="image/x-icon" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\PersistentHandler] 
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\UndoClass] 
@="icofile" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\shellex] 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}] 


[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile] 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile] 
@="Ikon" 
"ImageOptionFlags"=dword:00000000 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon] 
@="%1"

• It's really pleasant and useful… One gets something like below :
