Hi folks. I have a TC packer plugin which lets me unpack images of a multi-image icon.
The plugin is excellent, but my problem is that TC now displays all .ico files with an archive icon, indicating that this file type is an archive type TC "understands" and can inspect via CTRL+PAGEDOWN.
Normally .ico and .bmp files have dynamic icons, revealing their content on-the-fly (Windows XP). So if you have 100 icons in a folder, you see all of their images all at once in standard list view. But with the plugin installed I only see 100 archive icons, which obviously is not helpful.
Can I tell TC to use the plugin but NOT to change the icon?
I would like to keep the standard icons for some other file types as well (e.g. dll), but of course not for all (e.g. real archives get archive icons).
thanks so much!

OK, I continued my search here on the forums (which unfortunately is a real annoyance, because due to a bug I reported 3 years ago - and which has never been fixed - it is not possible to search in topic titles only. The combo box says "Search message text only" while it should read "search topic titles only". There is absolutely NO PURPOSE for searching the entire text and EXCLUDING topic titles!!)
With google I found half of a solution here:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=23614&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
I added +256 and the icons are back now.
However I lost the capability of entering the archive via ENTER. I can only enter with CTRL+PAGEDOWN now.
It would be good to handle this aspect (entering via ENTER) independently of the icon aspect.
--> so is there any other solution to this problem?

You may remove archive icon only together with removing possibility to open archive by Enter. BTW, I prefer to enter non-standard archives by Ctrl+PgDn only (in this case I don't need to associate theese extensions with packer, it is enough to have one extension per packer).
Most people write stupid titles so it is much more powerful to search post text and not post titles.
Also it is much easier to match keyword in large post text than in title that must be short. 
If you want to reduce number of results, you may display results as topics, but if you want to find exact posts you should display them as posts.
