Snippet of the icon

Build Information:

Version 1.9.1 (SVN Rev 48270 from /trunk) and 1.8.3

I updated Wireshark today and the Icon associated with files (pcap / snoop) seems to have some issue.
I can't pinpoint what is going on and examining the wireshark.exe seems that all icons are onboard.
From explorer, no problem, all appears OK.
But snoop files on the desktop only have an icon if zooming out to the large icons (ctrl-scrollwheel) if the icons are smaller. The files appear as the attachments, however they have the wireshark.exe as associated file.

added oswindows uigtk versiondev labels

I still don't fully understand, but with some help I got around it by using "Resource hacker" and export the "Icon Group/WIRESHARK_ICON2" to c:\Program files\Wireshark\ws_exp.ico and set the registry entry :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\wireshark-capture-file\DefaultIcon]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\Wireshark\\ws_exp.ico\""
"original"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Wireshark\\Wireshark.exe\",1"

In explorer, also the "medium icons" view seems incorrect

The installer uses the same code to register associations for each extension so the behavior for .snoop files shouldn't differ from .pcapng, .pcap or any other extensions we register. Have you tried rebuilding your icon cache as described at http://superuser.com/questions/499078/refresh-icon-cache-without-rebooting ?

Gerald,

Sorry for the delay, was to busy to try it. Today i updated to 1.9.2 SVN Rev 48626 and my "patch" from the registry was removed and all seems OK, so I am not able to reproduce it with the new(est) version.

BR,

Sjoerd
