Image file type icons show as PDF #5274
Description
SumatraPDF version
- Version 3.5.2 64-bit
- Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 build 19045.6332
Describe the bug
SumatraPDF is capable of opening various images file types, and can be set as the default application for them. However, when this happens, the icon in Windows 10 for these image file types becomes the same as that used for PDF files, which is rather misleading and also makes it difficult to identify image files.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Right-click on a jpg or tiff file (I didn't try others but I assume they have the same problem) in Explorer
- Select Open with > Choose another app
- Select SumatraPDF in the list and check "Always use this app to open .foo files"
- Observe that file icons for the images become indistinguishable from PDFs
Expected behavior
They should use a different icon that does not suggest they are PDF files.
I realise it may be too much work to use a distinct icon for every supported image type, but it could still be that all image file types use the same icon that indicates that it's an image.
Or perhaps use the default Windows image file type icon, if that is possible.

Additional context
As to why I would use SumatraPDF to open image files: my preferred image viewer does not support multi-page TIFFs, but SumatraPDF does and is quite fast about it too, much to the credit of the development team. This is just a small quality-of-life quibble.
