(169×11) Pierre's attachment

(165×11) from xnviewmp.exe

info@2x.png
(330×22) Pierre's attachment

(316×22) from xnviewmp.exe

Related bug report: Overlay icon for sidecar files

- info.png is used for Windows display at 100%.
The first one (169 x 11) was probably used for versions 0.97 and older (Pierre's attachment 2020 Nov)

The 2nd one (165 x 15 ) is OK

- info@2x.png has to be used when windows display is different from 100% (?)
The "xnviewmp" attachment for info@2x.png (316 x 22) seems OK.

-Yes now ...., I didn't find this anywhere before re-reading this post, but XnTriq did ...
I'll try it in some days, and provide a coloured version

Create an "icons" folder inside xnviewmp's installation folder.
Copy info.png or info@2x.png into this folder.
Restart xnviewmp ...

When using info@2x coloured version, I can see sometimes a rounding error of 1 pixel, but this is not critical ...

I created this SVG file a year ago as proof of concept.

To give it a try, save the following “code” as info@2x.png and copy it to the icons subdirectory of your XnView MP installation.

I wonder what I may have missed here (verified my Windows is at 100% zooming, create the Icons folder, etc.) but, try as I may, I couldn't get this to work.

Is anyone able to help me, please?

Did you create 'icons folder' or 'Icons folder' ?

The right one is without capital letter,
... containing info.png or info@2x.png

The thing is it's named exactly 'icons' as it can be seen, with lower-case i, the info.png file inside it and all:

Not having a dodo of what's quite going on yet.

Maybe XnViewMP folder or icons folder is protected by Windows (read/write rights ? or try to open xnviewmp as an admin ? )

Edit 2024/08/30
Since version 1.??, the size of overlay icons was changed...
This is a new version for the info.png file :
