3.2.0 Beta1 unable to update a shortcut's thumbnail - Phantom - 09-12-2020

Hello Xanashi,

Thanks for a great program!

I am writing to let you know that Icaros 3.2.0 Beta1 does not properly update a shortcut's thumbnail.

I am pleased that when a shortcut to a video file is first made, the thumbnail of the shortcut appears the same as the thumbnail of the original video, even when the current thumbnail offset setting in Icaros is different to the one used when the original file's thumbnail was made. That is good because it would otherwise be difficult to achieve without knowing what offset was originally used.

However, if one desires a different offset for the thumbnail of the shortcut, and so drops the shortcut on to Icaros to update it, this results in Icoras saying “1 new filetype(s) added (lnk)” and then doing nothing at all, whereas it should instead be updating the thumbnail of the shortcut, utilising the currently selected Thumbnail Offset.

Hi Phantom,

Very good point! I'll look into it!
