ImageList for Client

It would be nice to be able to display the registered image/icon for the file extension instead of just the .txt type. You can do it by using the system image list and using SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES.

Where would you like to see this displayed?

In the client.

Right now anytime I view list of files in the client it's just plain old text (white) icon/image next to the files. Makes it harder to see what is what.

I'll add a feature request to display colorful icons in the file list, corresponding to file extensions.

In the meantime - in Tools->Options->File List Columns, there's an option to enable a column showing the file extension. You could sort by extension and have a better idea of what's in the file list.

FYI, the checkbox is labeled "File Type", not "File Extension". (It took me a minute to figure out that it was actually there.)
