simply... having an icon close to the main feature used, right clicking on a file, it helps to quickly put in evidence this one; I'd love this feature
Thanks

You can already do this with the Settings application. In the Commands tab, click in the Icon column next to the command you want and set an icon file. You can also Shift-click to use the default icon.

thank you for quick answer Charles
Icon is visible next into submenu, but not the first level menu, not directly right clicking a file or a folder

Hmm, that's strange, it should show up in both menus, sounds like a bug. I'll look into it.

I checked the code and found the issue. It only happens when the only command selected in the main menu is "Copy Long Path".

I'll leave this open so I can fix it. In the meantime, there's a kind of workaround. Using regedit, navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\clechasseur\PathCopyCopy key and create the following value:

Name: UseIconForDefaultPlugin
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

That should instruct Path Copy Copy to display the default icon for any command in the main menu. This setting is not editable via the Settings application, so to turn it off you need to go back and delete the value.

Thanks for the workaround; I checked, the solution works, but the icon shown is not the one chosen but the default one; thanks again :-)

Yeah, it's not ideal. There's another trick I thought of, though:

Create a new custom command based on "Copy Long Path".
Assign an icon to it.
Select that command instead of "Copy Long Path" in the main menu.

That should give you the icon you want.
