ICO files turn to blank white when they are shown in both Panels and one icon file is deleted

#1 Post by Forez » 12.06.2022, 15:59

How to replicate variant A:

1] Put some ICO files in some folder

2] Have that folder shown in both Panels

3] Set view to List or Details

4] Delete one icon

Result: all icons turn to blank default ones - the user has to refresh view in a each Panel to see the proper graphics or somehow re-enter the folder

It happens most of the times


How to replicate variant B:

1] Put some ICO files in some folder

2] Have that folder shown in both Panels

3] Set view to List or Details in one panel and to Thumbnails in the other of the panels

4] Delete one icon

Result: the last icon turns to a blank default one in the Panel with List / Details view - the user has to refresh view in tn to see the proper graphics or somehow re-enter that folder

This variant happens only sometimes



There are also other ICO files related bugs that have been happening few last versions of FC. Just play around with them and you will start to see some Matrix stuff happening


I am using FreeCommander 861 32-bit public on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746

Can someone confirm this bug?

Is it one of those glitches that happen only on the 32-bit version of FC?

Apparently no

Because his is still happening on my Windows 10 system when I am using versions:
● 880 32-bit Public
● 880 64-bit Donor
● 885 64-bit Donor Portable
and in both variants [A and B]

Confirmed, not just after delete, but also after copy/paste file.

885 donor 64-bit and 880 public 32-bit, default settings.

Strange, I am unable to reproduce any of the above scenarios.

Version 880, x64 portable
Windows 10

Now I can't reproduce it every time.

Try these steps:
- use same path with ico files only in both panels
- use list view in left panel
- use details view in right panel
- copy paste 1 ico file in left panel
- delete 1 ico file in left panel, if needed

BTW I can't reproduce it with Thumb List and Thumb Details views.

Strange!
I can now reproduce following steps from the original post.
However, it does not seem to be consistent.
Sometimes it occurs in the right panel, sometimes left.
It appears to be different depending on the view modes of the 2 panels, i.e. list-list, detail-detail, list-detail, detail-list.

Edit: Also depends on which panel the ICO file is deleted from or copy/pasted to.

Exactly. I [rarely] do get lucky and everything is hunky dory, while other [many] times it all goes south

But as also

my disruption of my workflow is immanent, because I never know if what I see is what it really is - and so to be safe I constantly need to reset this icon cache [or whatever it is] by closing and reopening of FreeCommander, as sometimes [rarely] even a refreshing of view does not seem to help

This is very annoying / profound especially when I need to change or add icons for multiple shortcuts thus need to perform many similar operation

I used ico files for some time and I reported some bugs, possibly also this bug, not sure if it was fixed and it's a regression, or it was never fixed.

Workaround, if you're using mouse, set double-click to empty space to refresh view (and middle click to select all).

It is not so easy

If this had been working I would not have wrote

Due to this issue, when dealing with icons, I just cannot be sure what I handle / see unless I close and re-open FC
