Request: Icons

Post by Rotkaeqpchen »

Hi, first of all, thank you for this wonderful IDE, i was testing several different IDE's for weeks now. Finally i think WeBuilder 2008 is the best one. I'm using the Trial Version right now.

I've got a feature requests:

File Type Icons:
- For better usability and overview i'd like to see not only the "W-Icon" in my Explorer for different File Types. Please assign specific file type icons to the files, to see imidiately what file is what type, also you should change the file type text from "WeBuilder Document" to the specific type like "PHP-Document".

Thanks for reading, im looking forward to your answers.

Hi,

You can do this yourself in Windows.

Open up Windows Explorer, then goto Tools -> Folder Options and from there select the File Types tab.
Find the extension you're looking for, e.g. PHP and click the Advanced button towards the bottom.
From there you can change description you see, and also the icon used.

You may find (as I do on my computer) that for some reason the Icons never change, most file types on my PC have the standard file icon which is very annoying!!!

Cheers,
Mike
