Only white Icons since now!

[Lummerland1956]

Good morning,
since today's update to 17.1 my InDesign icons are missing. There are only white sheets to see. I have restarted and also looked in the registry for the necessary entries. Everything is correct.
Greetings Helga

1. To what icons are you refering?
2. What file  types are they?
3. Are spot colors envolved?
4. Where do you see them white?

Hi Helga,

same on my Windows 10 machine.

After the update all InDesign icons are white regardless what version of InDesign the files were saved with:

This is what it looks like for me too.... i am so angry!

[BobLevine]

Yeah, they screwed it up, again! This time I can't even figure out a quick fix.

[Lummerland1956]

Too bad!

[Peter Spier]

Do files open when you double-click?

Have you tried resetting the file association?

[BobLevine]

Nothing works except opening the files and yes, a double-click works. This has happened several times in the past and quick change of file associations fixed it. Not this time.

[Lummerland1956]

The same here 😞

[Peter Spier]

Think maybe I'll wait to update...

[Laubender]

Peter Spier asked: "Do files open when you double-click?"

Yes, they do.

FWIW: The issue with the white icon is nothing that can stop me from using this update.

A small nuisance, yes, but nothing that really bothers me…

[Peter Spier]

OK. This actually sounds like they forgot to include the icon file.

[Laubender]

Hm. The icons are there for IDML files:

for me too

What happens if you create a shorcut to one of these files, right-click on the chortcut choose Properties and then press the Change Icon button?

Is the correct icon included in the collection (and for thast matter does the collection come up for C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell\CC.2022\icons.dll)?

[BobLevine]

No. Does not work.

[Peter Spier]

What directory did the change icon button lead to?

[BobLevine]

Same one. I can change them one at a time, but it won't pick up the change for all of them. I'm going run cleaner and see if it maybe something in the registry is messed up.

[BobLevine]

That didn't work. I have to do it for each file.

[Peter Spier]

It sounds more and more like a coding oversight and maybe not worth the effort to fix. Report it as a bugand maybe the next update will fix it.

[BobLevine]

It's not even worth the bug report.

[Peter Spier]

If nobody files it it won't get fixed.

[BobLevine]

Let's face it, it's not getting fixed any time soon anyway. I posted it in the prerelease forum, though.

Hi All,

I am really sorry to hear about this. I would suggest you try the following steps:

• Press Window/ Start Button + R
• Type - Regedit > press enter
• Go to the following location:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\
• Locate .idml & .indd > OpenWithList
• Make sure in Name & Data fields "b" &"InDesign.exe" values are respectively inserted correctly in both the file extension registry settings.
  Note: Ensure characters are entered with the exact letter case (Lower/ Captial), as shown in the attached screenshot.
• Restart Windows

If you are still facing the issue, please let me know.

Regards,

Hella Anshul,

I did all that days ago. Unfortunately, it still does not work.
