Easily Replace Missing Folder Icons

A common problem I've had when extracting numerous WHDLoad archives,

particularly when using the companion program WHDArchiveExtractor, is ending

up with folders that have missing icons or icons that don't match my

preferred colour scheme. This simple command-line program solves that by

allowing you to copy your custom icons into those folders.

How It Works:

Designed primarily for use after running WHDArchiveExtractor to extract
WHDLoad archives, but can be used with any folder.
Requires two folders:

- A target folder containing the folders you want to replace or create

icons for.

- A source icon folder with your custom icon set (.info files).

The icon set should include icons for A-Z (A.info - Z.info) and 0 (0.info)

for numbered folders.

You can also include other custom icons for specific folders like

Games.info, Demos.info, AGA.info, etc.

If a folder doesn't match any icons in the source, a default "Blank.info"

icon is copied and renamed.

Skips folders containing .slave files to avoid changing the look made by

the WHDLoad game author.

Program Features:

DeleteGameFolderIcons: Removes existing icons for game folders (with

.slave files inside) and replaces them with the "Blank.info" icon for a

uniform look.

DeleteExistingIcons: Deletes icons in the target folder if a matching

icon exists in the source folder before replacing them.

Important Notes:

You need to provide your own custom icon set - it's not (yet) included

with the program.

If source icons have been "snapshotted" (locked positions), their

positions will be replicated when copied, which could lead to

misalignment. Icons should be unsnapshotted. I've found that sometimes

Workbench won't allow you to unshapshot a folder icon unless you have an

actual folder to go with it.

Don't snapshot the "default.info" icon to avoid clustering all game

folders together one on top of each other.

This program makes changes to your icons, so make sure you can revert if

needed.

Usage:

$ IconSync <target_directory> <icon_source_directory>

[-DeleteGameFolderIcons] [-DeleteExistingIcons]

By using this program after extracting WHDLoad archives with

WHDArchiveExtractor, you can easily get all your extracted folders to look

consistent with your preferred icon theme.
