forgive me for being a dumb idiot but how can I get these icons to tag onto adf, dms and ipf files?

boing_1000 · 23 September 2006, 19:41

Yeah I'm having trouble with that too.

Hi Galaxy good job but how do you get these Icons onto the adf file ????
Plaese help us with this if you would not mind. Thanks very much.

Easy guys, just set up a File Association in Windows...

Follow these steps:

... Extract AmigaDiskIcons.zip to C:\.
... Run Windows Explorer or double-click on My Computer from the desktop.
... Select Tools --> Folder Options...
... Select the File Types tab.
... Click New and type in either ADF, ADZ, DMS or IPF and click OK.
... Now have whatever you just entered highlighted, click Advanced and then Change Icon...
... Click Browse... and point to C:\ where you extracted the .ico file to.
... Double-click on whichever of the 3 .ico files you want to use then click OK, OK, Close.

For XP: In Explorer click one Extras->Folder Options. Click on 'New'. For Extension enter the desired one, i.e. IPF. Click OK. Select the newly created entry in the list. Click on Advanced. Type in the upper text field the desired description, i.e. SPS-Image. Click on Different Symbol. Select the icon you want, click on OK 2 times. Ready. (Button texts translated from German, may differ on your one)

Ups, you were faster

boing_1000 · 23 September 2006, 20:29

Got it. Thanks a bunch!

ElectroBlaster · 23 September 2006, 20:53

Excellent

Another example of how this forum rocks big time

killergorilla · 23 September 2006, 22:37

DamienD · 23 September 2006, 22:43

They do indeed

Many thanks again Galaxy

These icons work great but I have a small problem regarding ADFView, does anybody know how I can change its default icon to one of these floppydisk ones? If I associate adfs to these icons then adfview stops working?

For this you should be able to:

... Find the program shortcut for ADFView, right-click and select Properties.
... Change Icon..., then click Browse... and point to where you extracted the .ico file to.
... Double-click on whichever of the 3 .ico files you want to use then click OK, and then OK.

Maybe go back into Windows Explorer or double-click on My Computer from the desktop then:

... Select Tools --> Folder Options...
... Select the File Types tab.
... Find and highlight ADF.
... Click Change... and find ADFView in the list. If it's not there then browse to where the program file is.

This great stuff should be part of the WinUAE installer!
The installer should have a routine inside which tests whether icons are already installed. If they aren't ( = first installation on the system), they get automatically installed. Maybe make them part of the .exe (as with 1,000s of other Windows programs)

In the 21st century, the user should no longer require to install this manually.

boing_1000 · 24 September 2006, 22:17

I agree. These awesome icons should be part of WinUAE in the next released version!
