Folder icon for the folders in the Favorites Panel

Post by Brother Gabriel-Marie »

In regular XnView, when you added a directory to the Favourites panel, that folder displayed its icon that was assigned to it in Windows Explorer.
However, in MP, you just get a plain old vanilla folder.
So my feature request is that MP pulls the folder's icon.

Hmmm... I understand you. But to implement this feature might be harder than it seems because XnView MP is cross-platform. (Each platform has its own way to get the icons for the folders).

Ah, I see now. Well, maybe it could at least do it in Windows where it is easy! :D
