I believe setIcon updates the file modification date... (please check as I
can't remember for sure)... which might go against what a file tracking
system might be trying to do.

i.e. will give false file modification updates because of setting the
updated icons.

If there is a way to do that without updating the file attributes, it would
work perfectly...
