Visual Studio extension that adds solution-related icon to VS taskbar button.

solutionicon's Issues

Add support for VS 2017

Visual Studio 2017 (15) is released last week and it would be great if this plugin could support the new VS.

Add support for VS 2015

Icon not showing

Your extension is a very good idea ! But I got an issue on Windows7 / V Studio 2015 Professional

Output window when opening a solution:

Solution 'ServiceCenter.Electro' opened.
Solution 'ServiceCenter.Electro': found icon at 'C:\Development\VB.Net\Krefel\Applications\ServiceCenter.Electro\favicon.ico'.
System.InvalidOperationException: A valid active Window is needed to update the Taskbar.
at Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Taskbar.TaskbarManager.get_OwnerHandle()
at Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Taskbar.TaskbarManager.SetOverlayIcon(Icon icon, String accessibilityText)
at SolutionIcon.Implementation.SolutionIconManager.SolutionEvents_Opened()

Thanks, Luc

Adding icon to alt-tab task switcher thumbnail

Would it be possible to also modify the icon shown on top of the window thumbnail on the alt+tab task switcher?
I usually switch between instances using alt+tab, not the task bar.

Is it possible to add overlay icon for small taskbar buttons?

Thank you for the extension.
Is it possible to display the overlay icon when I have the setting "Use small icons" turned on?

Error message when opening Visual Studio without any solution

Hello,

I would like to report a small issue. When opening Visual Studio 2017 without a solution opened, I get the following errors in the output window:
Solution '' opened.
System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.
at System.IO.Path.LegacyNormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck, Int32 maxPathLength, Boolean expandShortPaths)
at System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck, Int32 maxPathLength, Boolean expandShortPaths)

at SolutionIcon.Implementation.SolutionIconManager.FindAndConvertExistingIcon(Solution solution)
at SolutionIcon.Implementation.SolutionIconManager.GetIcon(Solution solution)
at SolutionIcon.Implementation.SolutionIconManager.SolutionEvents_Opened()

This is a very minor bug that does not prevent the usage of that extension that is invaluable when three or more instances of VS 2017 with solution are opened. I just happen to use VS 2017 as a code editor (when I could be using Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, Notepad2 ...)

Best regards,

Does not work with VS 2012

I downloaded the latest version from the marketplace, but when I tried to install it, it said it didn't support VS 2012. Is there a way that I could download an older version that would support VS 2012?

Icon disappears when progress is shown

The VS extension CodeMaid has the option "Show build progress on Visual Studio icon in Windows taskbar" in the "Progressing" category. It seems to be active by default. I'm not sure if that's necessary anymore because Visual Studio already shows some progress on the icon on its own.

If that option of the other extension is active, the solution overlay icon disappears when that progress is shown. And it won't come back until Visual Studio is restarted (or maybe the solution is reopened).

This may not be fixable in the Solution Icon extension, but a compatibility note about it couldn't hurt on the readme page here and in the VS Marketplace.

VS 2019 support

Do you plan to support VS 2019?
