Description
Windows OS version
W10 22H2
ImageGlass version
10.0.6.906
ImageGlass release
Classic
1️⃣ Steps to reproduce
Just install Image Glass by default.
Register it as default image viewer.
2️⃣ Actual behavior
Starting from v10.x, Image Glass is supposed to use _ext_icons folder for the icons.
But it seems that it still keeps old behavior, using old folder Ext-Icons from legacy versions.
If I only use _ext_icons folder by default, the icon files aren't properly registered and all image files are shown without linked icons.
If I duplicate that folder and rename it to Ext-Icons, re-register Image Glass as default image viewer again, the issue is resolved, icons are showing properly as normal.
3️⃣ Expected behavior
Image Glass should recognize the folder _ext_icons as icon folder path, instead of Ext-Icons (legacy behavior)

Research direction
Start by tracing the default installation and image-file association flow that registers the extension icons, comparing the expected _ext_icons path with the legacy Ext-Icons path. Confirm the fix by installing ImageGlass with the default settings, registering it as the default image viewer, and verifying that image files display their linked icons without duplicating the folder.
