Hi, I've extended the shell extension (GVimExt) to show an icon since I find it much easier to spot the correct entry in the context menu if there are lots.
- Currently the Vim icon (src/vim.ico) is used. However, I didn't
manage to make the dll work with the ico file directly, so I've
extracted the 16x16 icon to a bmp file (which the patch expects to be
in the src/GVimExt folder). If anyone knows why using an ico file
doesn't work please let me know -- I've already checked other shell
extensions like WinMerge, but all I've looked at are using bmp files.
- Right now the icon is only added to the "Edit with Vim" (and "Edit
with single Vim" / "Edit with multiple Vim") entry. Should there be an
icon to the other entries as well ("Diff with Vim" / "Open with
existing Vim") and should it use the same icon?
What do you think?
- Dominik
