  1. First (big) icon is when I go to Music Brainz Picard folder and created shortcut to Picard.exe
  2. Second (small) icon is when I do the same from 1Remote using Upload button in connection configuration and then I create desktop shortcut using latest option #439

You gotta adjust the icon size yourself when uploading it. We can't decide the size of the icon for our user.

That doesn't change the icon here on the desktop, only in the list:

Maybe caused by the icon cache not being updated.

I have replaced the icon with the Win2019 icon, but the desktop shortcut still shows the previous icon.

append:

after run ie4uinit.exe -show

new icon was shown

bUt i dont think is a good idea for 1RM to run ie4uinit.exe -show every time a shortcut is created.

The cache problem is certainly there, but that has nothing to do with 1RM, it happens with other apps too.

This is specific to 1RM, it initially shows icon that is smaller. Here I take random icons from Program Files that I never used before:

The icon is shown the same on the desktop. You see here that the size is maximal. If I save it and return again to connection config, the slider is now on the middle and I can make it larger. I can repeat that indefinitelly, until there is nothing left of icon.

Not a big deal, I just think since we have remote apps, that this should probably work as expected.

Then this is actually a bug in the icon selector, and I have been testing whether creating shortcuts has bug.
