Alternate icon library wasn't select in configuration menu

[spn13]

I made icon library, put it in the %COMMANDER_PATH% directory (flat_icons.dll, flat_icons.inc). But I can't choose it in the Configuration=Icons=Set defoult icon library.

In the dialogs I see:
1: wcnicons.dll
2: ------------ (combobox is empty, I can't choose anything else)

To make TC see it, you need to rename it to wcmdicon*.dll and add a versioninfo resource with the description field set to something unique.

Could you provide such a .dll file - the one in https://plugins.ghisler.com/900/wcmicons9v3.zip doesn't seem to conform with this

I've got the same problem as spn 13.
Sorry, but I didn't quite catch. What does it mean "add a versioninfo resource with the description field set to something unique."
Is this supposed to be another file like wcmicons.inc?

I've just copied default WCMICONS.DLL to WCMICON2.DLL - TC shows it in list, but to WCMICON3.DLL - TC ignores it...

[spn13]

I add the version info in dll and TC shows it in list, but inc file is apply wcmicons.inc, not wcmicons_new.dll. I used custom menu and some icons is not apply.

I dont get anyway way restrict the name at all?
cant i just write the lib I want in the ini file with ANY NAME I want?

I don't want to open every single dll in TC directory every time this dialog box is opened. With today's virus scanners this would be painfully slow.

Hmm, the only filename that seems to work is Wcmicon2.dll (as MVV wrote)

If I select Wcmicon2.dll and there also exists an wciconex.dll, then wciconex.dll is used for the menu and Wcmicon2.dll is only used for the button bar. Expected behaviour: use Wcmicon2.dll for everything if selected and disregard wciconex.dll.

If I add a Wcmicon2.inc with my own alterations it is not used when selecting Wcmicon2.dll - either Wcmicons.inc or wciconex.inc if present is always used. Expexted behaviour: use Wcmicon2.inc if provided, when Wcmicon2.dll is selected.

ghisler(Author),
But what if only open WCMICON*.DLL files? Maybe even only ones that have corresponding WCMICON*.INC files?

[ghisler(Author)]

But what if only open WCMICON*.DLL files?

I'm already doing this, but I need to detect them even when the user renames them, so I know when I need to reload icons.

[MVV]

Why do you need to reload icons on renaming library? Buttonbar have always reloaded icons manually after applying changes...

[ghisler(Author)]

Imagine that I would replace the current library with a new one. TC would't notice, it would still show the button bars with the old icons until you manually reload them...

[petermad]

In TC9b3 I still seem to only be able to use the file name Wcmicon2.dll other filenames like Wcmicon3.dll does not work

Did you read my message about the versioninfo requirements? It needs the US-English resource with the comment field set to a userful name to distinguish the library.
