IPackager doesn't display or change filetype icons correctly

Windows 10 x64 version 20H2 - build 19042.804 | IconPackager 10.03

from Stardock Forums

Hi there,

As the title states, Iconpackager won't change the icons for various filetypes, for example .psd and .pdf files.  This is true for any number of themes which include custom icons for said filetypes. 

Further, using the 'change icon' option when right-clicking a filetype accomplishes nothing.  It allows me to choose an icon, but upon clicking 'apply' nothing happens.

I tried using the 'rebuild icon cache' in settings to no avail.  Is there some way to get this app to work as advertised?

 

Thank you,

David

The package builder in IconPackager 10 doesn't change many of the icons that it should. Personally , I just don't think it's compatible with Win.10  You can do what I do and use a free little application called  -  FileTypesMan v1.82

You can type that into Google Search to get to the website with lots of information as to how to use the app to quickly and easily replace any file icon on your PC. It works fantastic and I've used it for years. I use it in addition to IconPackager 10 for those stubborn little icons that don't get changed , plus you have a whole slew of iconpackage icons to choose from when wanting to replace an icon.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am not sure on PSD files, but on PDF files, I noticed it changed, to preview view with a small overlay on it. Which i think, it overwrite Iconpackager setting. This is what I saw on my system.

Anyway, I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Hi Basj,

So, does the support team have any advice about this?  Will there be updates to the software to fix this issue? 

I should add that 'icon packager' is really the only software I still use from 'object desktop', so continually renewing the subscription, as I have for years, starts to feel slightly ridiculous when it doesn't work correctly.

 

Thanks,

David
