Installation

1. Download the .zip file here.
2. Extract it using the password: 1234.
3. Put the "RCFI Tools" folder somewhere, once it's installed, you are not allowed to move the folder; otherwise you'll have to reinstall it.
4. Open RCFI Tools.bat.
5. You'll be prompted to allow the script to write to the Registry. Click 'Yes' to proceed with the installation.
6. There will be 'config.ini' and 'uninstall.cmd' generated. Done.

You can access 'Folder Icon Tools' via the right-click menu in Windows Explorer.

Note: In case if "RCFI Tools.bat" is flagged as a malicious program by antivirus software (see the issue discussion), you might have to add the "RCFI Tools.bat" to the allow list in your antivirus.

Usage

It's simple and easy to use. Once installed, you can generate a folder icon by right-clicking on a folder, an image, or the folder background. You can choose the template you want to generate the folder icon, it will automatically edit the image using ImageMagick.

Here's some samples of the template i've made.

  Files inside folder  

  Generated folder icon  

(none)	DVDCase Transparent	DVDCase Bluray	Folder Vertical	Folder Horizontal
(Shadow Only)	BeOrigin	Windows 11 A	Windows 11 Cover	Windows 11 Folderify
DiscArt	DVDBox Dark	DVDBox Light

The samples above use '*Poster*.jpg' as the generated folder icon. Certain templates with specific configurations may combine additional files located within the folder directory to achieve the results as shown above. If the required additional files are not available, they will be ignored, and the folder icon will be generated without them.

To give you an idea of how it looks and how you can use it,
I've made a video that you can watch it Here.

rightclickfoldericontools's Issues

Feature Request: Add New Template

I've been making my own folder icons as well as using lots of community made icons throughout my system, and I've looked for a tool such as this in the past but came up with very little aside from like folderico, but it had rather limited options so I never really used it..

But that means I currently have more folders with custom icons than without at this point, and I'd really like to keep the styling consistent hence why I've made so many myself to fill gaps in the community made icons.

So I got very excited when I discovered this tool and started checking it out, until I ran the sample images and realized the template being used for the horizontal folder is very different from the one based off the windows 11 vanilla folder that all my existing icons are built on.

Then I saw that this tool was utilizing predefined assets to generate its icons so I attempted to cheat and make my own assets with the same properties as the original ones were, but sadly that failed with the tool being unable to recognize the new assets and didn't render anything at all.

So now I'm wondering if there is any way for me to achieve my goal, or if not request ither a way be added or easier still just having the assets I created be added as a second style perhaps?

Here's the files I made if just adding them might be easier. If they don't meet the requirements exactly just let me know and I can make any adjustments required if needed.

Thanks for your consideration.

My own icon

Is it possible to set the icon that is already present within the folder ?
I have tested your PNG to ICO converter to set the icon and I have found converted from your app looks little blurred as well as higher file size. Both are 256x256 with 32 bit depth

Chrome reporting "Virus Detected" when downloading release 0.1

I'm using Chrome 120.0.6099.71 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10, and I'm logged in to Github. I don't have any antivirus software installed beyond the built-in/Microsoft-issued Windows Defender. I visited the repo for RightClickFolderIconTools, clicked the latest release in the right nav ( RCFI Tools v0.1 ) in the right nav, clicked rcfi.tools.v.01.zip. It downloads, but the file never appears, and it warns me instead tha a virus was detected, next to a red download icon with a slash through it. See the attached image for the error, shown when I click the download icon on the right of the address bar (near the three-dot/kebab menu).
