Total Commander

Hi, i just start to test total commander.

I usually have a lot of folders with custom icons i use a sofware similar to "folder marker pro".

What this kind of programs do is to set a file called desktop.ini in each folder and windows explorer shows the icon especified in that config file in that folder.

I have found that total commander not only doesn't show the icon plus it hides that folder completely.

I'm testing the last beta x64 and i would like to know if there are some plans to fix this in newer releases.

I know its a bug.. but also is a possible request for future versions so.. i chose this forum because i believe its more appropiate.

Thanks.

Hello exyron,
Please enable Show hidden/system files in TC's options.

The bug is to customize folders using the System attribute.
This should normally be done with the Read only attribute.

How to Customize Folders with Desktop.ini wrote:Use PathMakeSystemFolder to make the folder a system folder. This sets the read-only bit on the folder to indicate that the special behavior reserved for Desktop.ini should be enabled. You can also make a folder a system folder from the command line by using attrib +s FolderName.

I know Explorer supports both methods, but its a little bewildering to hide a folder only if no desktop.ini exists, while the read-only attribute otherwise has no function for folders.
