Windows: VS Code File icons are missing

Open NewUserHa opened this issue 5 years ago • 14 comments

.ipynb always has blank icon, even after setting file association like *.ipynb python. I guess this is caused by vscode has no icon files for that.

is it possible to enhance the icon of the associated file or by some extensions?

With black icon you mean the default icon? image

But associating the extension to python works for me: image

Can file an issue against https://github.com/jesseweed/seti-ui to add a nice icon for Jupiter notebook files?

No, It's the desktop icon, not in the vscode explorer.

Not sure that a missing desktop icon is VSCode's fault @joaomoreno ?

win use the exe resources of the associated program to display a desktop icon, so it should be a vscode's issue.

Should this issue keep open, if the issue has been verified? @aeschli @RMacfarlane

Can you show me a screenshot of the broken icon?

Can you reproduce with other file extensions? Eg .js?

I'm going to err on the side of caution and assume this is semi-related enough to go here (and if not, I'll be glad to open a different issue so do let me know)

.code-workspace files are also not automatically associated and don't get an icon. I had to tell it specifically to use VSCode after doubleclicking one, and it gets a generic icon

I'm also very curious if I have the correct windows file icons for VSCode files. Watching some YT tutorial vids I see others who use VSCode have different (Windows) file icons than me and if there is anything I can do to fix this if it is on my end?

Screenshots of my windows icons: explorer_sezZZ40npV explorer_HrnmPY1NN0

Screenshots of the others' windows icons from YT vids: msedge_RqdDkGCiRN

Same file types but different windows icons? This is also the same with other coding file types like javascript and others that use VSCode. They are all just a blank page icon like I've shown above. If anyone has any ideas or help with this please let me know.

Getting the same issue rn. Any solutions?

image I am having also this issue, I hope it be fixed because it is really easier to know what language is that from the icon (it is not working in any language)
