Try to use IShellIcon icon search mode. Option is situated on Configuration > Settings... > View > Display page.

Icon doesn't change, because FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED update comes from system, not FILE_ACTION_ADDED and JM doesn't call IShellIcon.

Icon update logic has been improved in 1.0.0-beta.1, however, sometimes icons are still not updated due to Shell cache update issues.

Re: arror icon missing on shortcut

What icon search mode do you use?
Overlays won't be displayed with the default SHGetFileInfo mode. They are retrieved only in "SHGetFileInfo with overlays"/IShellIcon modes.

Re: arror icon missing on shortcut

you are right. I forgot about the setting. this is what i get now:

Why is SHGetFileInfo the standard setting if the icons are not displayed correctly? (performance?)
Which one do you suggest to use? Which one is the fastest?

Re: arror icon missing on shortcut

SHGetFileInfo is the default since it's faster than the others. The icons are correct, the overlays just aren't displayed.

Which one do you suggest to use? Which one is the fastest?

If the overlays are important for you, use "SHGetFileInfo with overlays" or IShellIcon mode.
You can check which method is faster using trace logs.
My test on C:\Windows\System32.
SHGetFileInfo:

TRACE 06.05.2026 8:08:29.655  6956 CIconsExploreThread::Run: status: finished, panel: 1, time: 0,508 s

SHGetFileInfo with overlays:

TRACE 06.05.2026 8:08:56.633  6676 CIconsExploreThread::Run: status: finished, panel: 1, time: 5,828 s

IShellIcon:
