small icon modifiers

It´s a nice idea, however I would appreciate to have it as an option.
I find UE look too distracting with them for now. Maybe I´ll use to it but it looks messy to me, now. Thanks for trying Alex.

Best Regards

after 1 day are you still sure? the idea is without looking at the subject you can tell what it is, i don't remember whether it is implemented like that somewhere or not.

in short we'll keep them in the meantime and see, if there will be a problem i'll make it an option later.

Yes, I get the point. It is not a wrong idea at all. I am used to the clearer look of UE. If I want to know type of file I look att the file ending (its my opinion there are surely folk that love this). For me it makes UE less "comprehensible". You can code it in colors as well. Then you can´t guess what type of files the future brings with it on usenet and you will have to uppdate it.
Sorry for my conservative opinion. UE is a great program and your work is highly appreciated. I think only it is nice to have a possibility to choose.

Have a Happy Easter

Is there a map or something to show what the modifiers are?

I'll tell you, even with my best glasses on, I can see there's something there, but I'm not so sure I'd be able to tell one from another.

Great idea, love it. If it is an option, make it default on.

As LarryM posted, what are the icon types?

edit: had an idea, how about a column with full icon sizes (or big enough to fit the column and be recognizable) that match the Windows icon associated with the files??? Maybe as a 3rd option for this feature? With that method it would be extremely easy to recognize the file types.

we'll see these are very small features.

I like the idea with widows associatied programs icons. As an option of course, so you don´t push people into it.
