Changing icon for one file extensions modifies it for another
I am running into some issues trying to change the .ico file associated with a particular file extension. At the moment 2 extensions Rmd and R share the same icon (shown below).
I launched FileTypesMan and here is the view for both R and Rmd extension
I have an icon file which I have saved in the save location “rmarkdown_icon.ico”. I go back into FileTypesMan to try and change this, which seems to work
The issue that both the R and Rmd extensions get changed (rather than just the Rmd extension)
I have been attempting to change the icon with .Rmd using FileTypesMan but when I do it switches the icon associated with BOTH Rmd and R and I believe this is based on the "Rmd_auto_file" contained within the following path in regedit.
As per my understanding based on some extensive Google searches, an icon is being attributed to everything that RStudio opens rather than a specific filetype (which is what we are trying to accomplish). I have attempted troubleshooting for quite some time and was wondering if anyone had successfully accomplished this.HTML Code:Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.Rmd\OpenWithProgids
Does anyone have any insight to fix this?
