allow "->.ico" on UNC\network paths

...or other devices that may or may not be connected at any given time.

Code: Select all

\\10.0.0.2\Inbox\folder.ico
\\10.0.0.2\Software\App.exe

also: that it does absolute nothing (in the sense of visible feedback) on click if *.ico is the "icon file" is a little strange

Works here...

Make sure that
Configuration -> Display -> Icons -> "EXE/LNK not on net"
is unchecked.

It can take a few seconds for the icons to appear.

I do not recommend keeping icons on network paths, it makes loading of them much slower (although faster than from exe files located on network paths). If you can, copy the icon to a local drive and use it from there.

i meant the new feature that allows extracting icons from *.exe files and save via the [->.ico] Button.

yes, hence my suggestion to add the "copy to local drive" functionality the the [->.ico] button - if the path is a *.ico on a network path.
