Get back old default icon for AutoIt-created .EXE's?

[lee321987]

Hello.

I just upgraded to AutoIt v3.3.10.2.

There is a new default icon for the .EXE's created by AutoIt.

Is there any way to get the old icon back?

[orbs]

AutoIt icons can be found in the surprisingly named "Icons" folder in the AutoIt installation directory, commonly "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Icons\".

use the wrapper directive #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add= to add the icon of your choice. this is explained in SciTe help.

Thanks orbs, but that would require adding something to every script.

I was hoping for a setting I could just flip.

I did look through the change log (before I posted the question), and saw no mention of this change.

that is correct. this is not too hard though, with a utility that enables you to search & replace in multiple files, like SciTe Jump, or even from inside SciTe for all scripts currently open in SciTe, as discussed here:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Alright, thank you.

Or, you could learn to code properly, and add your own meaningful icons to your scripts. It is, after all, only a single line.  

#pragma Compile(Icon, <Filename>)

 I thought i had virus or something.

Why would anyone decide to change it ?

Speaking of icons, i have this #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=filename.ico in my script but icon is not included.

Previous version of autoit had no problems with this but latest does.

I tried to give full path to icon file but no help.

I tried to give quotes to path "path" but no help

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Iconsau3.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Iconsfiletype1.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Iconsfiletype2.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Iconsfiletype3.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Iconsfiletype-blank.ico

As from help file does not work. Explorer finds each file but autoit does not add it to my script icons.

Any ideas ?

It actually does pack the icon file into the EXE, it just doesn't set it as the EXE's icon.

Both of these make it the EXE's icon:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=filename.ico
#pragma Compile(Icon, filename.ico)

If you want to see why the icon was removed, have a look at >this thread.

No no no no, you dont get it. My script includes MANY icons, not just one.

Assigning icon to compiled script is one thing, but later autoit releases somehow do not include my icons into file anymore.

Maybe they do and hide them, because when i create shortcut to my compiled file and change shortcut icon by picking my compiled script, i only see default autoit icons but none of my 10 custom icons to pick from.

None of those icons are shown, only one that i pick to be compiled script icon as well as autoit default + icon, thats it.

[orbs]

this directive will add icon to be the main icon as displayed by Windows (which is what you ask?)

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=

this directive will add additional icons for internal use:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=

Did you install SciTE4AutoIt3? The wrapper is part of that, not AutoIt.

What does it say on the console when you compile from SciTE?

[tonycst]

to ORBS: (which is what you ask?)

No thats not what i ask.

 to AdmiralAlkex:

Yes i have it

!>14:18:07 Error: Failed to get script data from end of target file.  Skipping resource update.rc:2

I dont normally compile from the editor, i usually right click and select compile with options, so i didnt know this error was there.

No matter how i compile it, from the editor or not, x64 or x86, extra icons are not included.
