"Drive button icons can be replaced via external DLL&qu

As mentioned above I'm using 24-bit bitmaps.

It's a general problem. The current implementation is quite limited. You'll not find a removable icon for all kinds of removable drives. A removable drive can be almost anything...
I'll soon post a suggestion in the german (maybe in the english) forum on how to improve the current situation.

Agreed, removable drive can be anything. Maybe one should build resource dll according to the type of device he use mostly. For me it is an usb flash drive, so I'll stick with this icon for now:

FYI, it's from Windows' hotplug.dll

I will compile a new dll. One question: The two files for removable disks that you posted are quite large. Is there any reason for this?

[Lion]

I forgot to convert them from 8 to 24bit. The size after conversion = 822 bytes just like yours BMPs. I can repost the new versions...

[Lefteous]

New drivelibs can find be found on my homepage

It also works on Win9x machines in TC 6.01

Fixed: Couldn't load drive replacement icons on Win9x. Reason: LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE not understood

If you have active "Show drive buttons" option (Configuration / Layout) - the icons for the drive buttons are just changed,

That's what I thought but after downloading this new dll, they look the same as before I installed it.

Hi Bob!
I already replied, but the forum has crashed!
To get new drive-buttons, you must add the following in your <WINCMD.INI> file:
[Configuration]
DriveLib=C:\Totalcmd\...sub-dir-path...\Shell32DriveBitmapsCustomFTP.dll
That library can be found from this forum, please see other pages about the subject...
It works fine at home (with TC 32-bit versions!)
Friendly,

I now definetely found out that the TC 6.0 doesn't support the changing of drivelib under WIN98 - while 6.01 does.

By coincidence I started over the Network a TC instance at my w98 machine and suddenly the new dirve icons appeared. So I tested everything (compare the wincmd.ini; Location of them: copy the TC directory to a local one etc.). Finally I found out that all I had to do was simply copy the new totalcmd.exe in my TC directory - and then my custom drivebuttons appeared.

23.11.03 Fixed: Couldn't load drive replacement icons on Win9x. Reason: LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE not understood

TC 6.01 corrects many errors that have been found in 6.0.

Is it possible to use these drivelibs in \\My Pc\*.* ? , thanks.
 
I can do it with Axialis IconWorkshop 5 but i just want to change TC icons not Windows ones.

If you have access rights to this network folder it works fine, if not the standard the standard bitmaps will be used.

[adacom]

a very old thread - does this still work in 8.51 - have tried it and it does not work - that may be me but would like to know it does work before i try and work out what i am doing wrong

[sqa_wizard]

does this still work in 8.51

Yes, it still works.
Using it with TC 8.51a on win7 64-bit.

[adacom]

thanks - knowing it worked prompted me to reread and recheck and i missed the fact that the link in the help file refers to drvbmps.dll which i just cut and pasted but the file name is drivebmp.dll

simple when i put my brain in gear

again thanks
