Please test the regular version (not the Lite version). Does that show the icons?

EDIT: I looked at the code of the Lite version again. If you select a folder, it will only show you the first icon in each file. Thus your files have all the same first icon. To see which one is used, you have to use the regular IconViewer.

ok, just to clarify... does this mean that the behaviour is normal in the Lite version & i should be using the normal Icon Viewer for looking into filetypes such as *.icl, *.dll & *.exe?

Yeap.

The lite version is manly to look at A single file and ALL its icons.

Great, I like the changes in v2. A few suggestions:

• I have all my scripts in one dir (I think most people do) so can you change the include path to just 'Anchor.ahk';
• The columns don't update when the GUI is resized. I don't know if this is possible but it would be a nice addition;
• Can you move the settings file to %AppData%;
• Add an option to auto-scan at startup, or make this default;
• Remove the 'Select' and 'AHK Command' groupboxes because they look ugly and take up too much space;
• Move the Edit control up to the same line as the Picture/ImageList radio buttons;
• Right-align the Clipboard and Close buttons and have them anchored there;
• Remove the ReadOnly on the path field. You can show an error message if the file is nonexistent when Scan is pressed;
• The tray icon has no use so I think it should be removed;
• Don't zero-pad the number of icons found;
• x-anchor the view mode radio buttons.

You also need to update the images and their URLs in the first post. Sorry for bugging you lol

I agree with most of your points. But:
- the number of icons found aren't zero-paded
- I updated the links of the screenshots, but didn't update them, since the GUI looks the same.
- I will not put the Anchor file in the same dir, since it is not my setup, and it would be just too many scripts in one dir. I have one master dir an in that dir all scripts have their own dir, with different versions and files belonging to them.
- why do you want the view mode radio buttons be x-anchored?
- I don't know if I should move the settings into %AppData%. I know that it should be placed there. But I like to have the script and settings inthe same dir. Removing the dir removes everything.

I'm referring to '0000 icons found, shown as'. I added 'GuiControl, , TxtIconsFound' after this control.

Thats ok, I'll just change the script for myself.

It looks better.

I found the IniFile var, I'll just change that thanks.

I also like it this way.

Ok, I dl'd anchor and both versuons, v5 and lite v2. When i try to open it says anchor v3 3 cannot be opened. Any suggestions?

You have to change the path of the #Include

If the output is:replaceby

and verify that Anchor_v3.3.ahk is in %a_scriptdir%

thanks, .

But lol, I am a new guy at this and don't know hot to verify it.

That means that your file Anchor_v3.3.ahk must be in the same directory as the file Icon_Viewer_Lite_v2.ahk

Yup, the bug reapeared here with light version (the same icon for entire folder).
I wonder is there any other method to get icons as this one seems to get them with lower quolity, depending on icon format.
