[TC10.52] EXE/LNK icons feature doesn't support "\\?\" prefix

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC10.52] EXE/LNK icons feature doesn't support "\\?\" prefix

Post by *white »

(Configuration/Options/Icons/All associated + EXE/LNK must be enabled)

Execute this command on TC's command line:

Code: Select all

cd \\?\%Commander_Path%
Look at the EXE icons.

As Windows cant find \\?\T:\TotalCmd how are Windows-Functions supposed to work?
None of the files shown by TC can be done an Alt+Enter either btw.
Hoecker sie sind raus!

Obviously (some) Windows functions do work, otherwise you wouldn't get what you get in the file panel.

A number of Windows API functions support the "\\?\" prefix, see here. TC already uses this in several places. I don't know if the EXE/LNK icons feature uses functions that doesn't support it, or if support is just not implemented in TC.

Indeed some Windows functions don't seem to work with this prefix. I don't currently see a solution here...
