Hello everyone, I'm trying to get the information about the current overlay icon for a file on Windows. To get this information I use the SHGetFileInfo function. Here is my function code:
def get_system_overlay_index_fo_file(path: Path) -> int: > flags = shellcon.SHGFI_ICON | 0x000000040 # SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX > file_info = shell.SHGetFileInfo(str(path), 0, flags) > return file_info[1][1] >> 24 > Docs for reference: > SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX (0x000000040) > > Version 5.0 > <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/legacy/bb776779(v=vs.85)>. > Return the index of the overlay icon. The value of the overlay index is > returned in the *upper eight bits* of the *iIcon* member of the structure > specified by *psfi*. This flag requires that the *SHGFI_ICON* be set as > well. > The problem is, this function behaves differently in different environments. 1. In my sandbox project it returns correct icon index. - The whole structure returned by SHGetFileInfo: (1, (15535299, 83886083, 403490781, '', '')) - Index: 83886083 >> 24 = 5 2. However, In the project I'm working on the same function returns different results. Even if I run them at the same time, for the same file. - The whole structure returned by SHGetFileInfo: (1, (15535299, 0, 403490781, '', '')) - Index: 0 After trying to figure it out for a couple of days, I have no more ideas. Has anyone encountered such behaviour? Why does the same function return different values for the same input? I would appreciate any feedback or ideas (or redirection to correct the place where I could ask this question :)). Cheers, Piotr
