How to display an icon of WinRAR for files zip, rar

[pedro22]

As in the topic - my settings:

Code: Select all

[Associations]
Filter1=*.rar
Filter1.icon=D:\Nowy (2)\WinRar\WinRAR.exe
Filter2=*.zip
Filter2.icon=D:\Nowy (2)\WinRar\WinRAR.exe

but it does not work.

I don't know, but have you tried to "quote your path with spaces" ?

The strange thing here is for me that even with the new option in TC 9 checked "Show default folder/file icons from Explorer" the ZIP icon is displayed instead of the RAR icon.

I think this is discussible.

It was requested many times, and there is still no way to set custom icon for archives that are registered in TC.

The option I mentioned isn't about a custom icon but about using the same icon as in Explorer.

That's a bad idea: When you double click an archive in Explorer, it opens with the app shown by the icon, e.g. WinRAR or 7zip. But when you double click it in TC, it opens inside of TC, like a folder. Therefore the generic "packed folder" icon should be used, not the WinRAR/7zip icon.

Totally worked for me, thanks! Added the following at the bottom of WINCMD.INI:

Code: Select all

[Associations]
Filter1=*.rar
Filter1.icon=c:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Filter2=*.zip
Filter2.icon=c:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
