Is it possible to add icons for Bookmark Folders?

Post by SuperDude »

Is it possible to add icons for Bookmark Folders? I can create icons for individual bookmark entries, but I can't figure out how to do the same for Bookmark Folders. This is what I'm talking about:

Also, if I create an icon for a menu entry and try to rename the Bookmark, or move it to another location, the icon entry in the Bookmarks-1.5a.csv file gets deleted. Even if I rename a bookmark entry, then rename it back to its original name, the icon gets deleted, requiring me to repeat the icon addition process.

As always, thanks for this amazing software :D

Thank you for your feedback SuperDude,

The next alpha update will allow you to set a custom bookmark folder icon.

I'll make a post here once this is ready for testing.

Everything 1.5.0.1325a adds support for setting a bookmark folder icon.

Everything 1.5.0.1325a also fixes an issue with bookmark icons not working under Select Bookmark dialog (Ctrl + B)



Folder icons are shown in the "Show All Bookmarks" dialog, "Select Bookmark" dialog and under the Bookmarks menu.

Currently, icons must be manually set in your bookmarks.csv file.

To manually set a bookmark folder icon:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Show All Bookmarks.
  • Click OK.
    (this will force Everything to add a new Icon column to your bookmarks.csv)
    (this only needs to be done once if you previously ran an Everything version older than 1320)
  • Completely exit Everything (File -> Exit)
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Bookmarks-1.5a.csv with Notepad or Excel
  • Locate your bookmark item and set the last field to the icon location.
  • For example:
    "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe"
    (use a ,index suffix to specify the icon index, for example: "c:\windows\explorer.exe,2" )
  • This should look something like:

    Code: Select all

    "My Bookmark Name",0,"",,,,,,,,,,"My Bookmark Search",,"","",0,,,,,0,,,"C:\Windows\Explorer.exe,2"
  • Save changes and restart Everything.
