solved [TC 10.52rc1] IconsOnNetReadOnly=1 does not seem to work

[petermad]

04.10.22 Added: New option wincmd.ini [Configuration] IconsOnNetReadOnly=0 Set to 1 to show folder icons on network shares even for folders with read only attribute. Warning: very slow for shared CD/DVD drives! (32/64)

I can not see that IconsOnNetReadOnly=1 works in neither 32bit nor 64bit TC 10.52rc1

[Usher]

Confirmed not working in TC-32 bit.

Confirmed not working in TC-32 bit.

Does that mean that it does work in 64bit TC for you - or that you have only tested in 32bit TC?

Works fine here, I have just tried it again. Maybe you have the following option disabled?
Configuration - Options - Icons - Show icons for special folders:Virtual folders (e.g. network)
When I uncheck this, I don't get any icons in UNC paths either.

[Usher]

All "Show icons" checked. "EXE/LNK not on net" and "Show !" unchecked.
Doesn't work in TC 32-bit, 64-bit not tested yet.
Setting system attribute works as in old versions.

No, I have that enabled. https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/iconoptions.png

I have also tried with "Show default folder/file icons from Explorer" enabled.

What does the desktop.ini contain? Does it point to a valid icon on YOUR computer too?

It doesn't matter. I did tests with icons from system resources and with favicon.ico located in the folder. I tested absolute path, path with environment variable and no path at all (for favicon.ico). All paths and icons were correct and available in both systems.
The same desktop.ini files work for mapped drives.
Tested with TC 32-bit and clean wincmd.ini in Windows XP

Yes, one of my test desktop.ini's is this:

Code: Select all

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\PM\Start\PHSM.dll
IconIndex=0

and C:\PM\Start\PHSM.dll exists on shared computer and local computer.

Also all Microsofts icons for special folders in the %USERPROFILE% are not shown

For example: %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\desktop.ini is the same on the two computers:

Code: Select all

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21779
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12688
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-113
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-236

Testet between Windows 10 and Windows 7 - both ways.

Could you test with a fresh wincmd.ini? I don't get why it works here but not for you.

[petermad]

I tested with a fresh ini for both 32bit and 64bit TC 10.52rc1 on Windows XP, 7, 8.1 and 10 - it is the same - no diricons from Desktop.ini

Could you test with a fresh wincmd.ini? I don't get why it works here but not for you.

Also have tested with three different installers (x32+x64) and clean profiles. Icons are not displayed with IconsOnNetReadOnly=1 setting in wicmd.ini.
Looks as it should in explorer. Windows 8.1x64.

[ghisler(Author)]

I don't undestand. I created a fresh ini file containing just two lines:
[Configuration]
IconsOnNetReadOnly=1

and then started TC 32-bit and TC 64-bit with it, and both show the folder icons in UNC paths just fine.
I think the only way out will be to remove this function altogether, sorry.

Try to work in a normal way.
1. Run TC without ini, accept proposed settings with no change and close TC.
2. Add IconsOnNetReadOnly=1to wincmd.ini and save the change.
3. Restart TC and watch results.

It also doesn't work for me. For the test I've used the wincmd.ini of my portable TC, which rarely changes (my portable TC is a password-protected SFX, so the contents only change if I intentionally do so). I've added IconsOnNetReadOnly=1 to that wincmd.ini, and then repacked the portable TC and launched it. Still no icons for such read-only directories on UNC shares, though they do show on mapped network drives. In other words: no difference to previous TC versions.

When searching TC's files I can't find the string IconsOnNetReadOnly in totalcmd.exe or totalcmd64.exe, only IconsOnNet can be found. That's why it can't work.
