Meaning of JPE icons

[Andrew Lee]

When an application that has been injected with JPE is run, some icons may appear on the upper right hand corner of the window:



Icon (1) means filesystem redirection is enabled.
Icon (2) means registry redirection is enabled.
Icon (3) means application is running from non-removable storage.
Icon (4) means application is running from removable storage which is still inserted.
Icon (5) means application is running from removable storage which has been removed.

Did I miss anything?

i only know (1) & (2) but never notice for other three icons
thanks for the info

I've only seen the first 3 icons before.
Are there cases when none of the icons will show? I remember I have seen apps with the red JPE border but no icons in the title bar. Perhaps they were redrawing the title bar?

Yes, if you use this setting in the ini:

Code: Select all

[Redirection]
UseIcon=0

Icons 3, 4, and 5 all share the same titlebar space. In a "normal" run you'll see icon 3 instead of 4 and 5. It's just telling you that JPE is alive and well within that window's process. As Andrew indicated, icon 4 replaces icon 3 if the app was run from a removable device. And icon 5 replaces icon 4 whenever that device is not available. I *think* you'll only get icons 4 and 5 if you're using the Settings->Identification "Portable device disconnect - Change USB icon" setting, but I may be wrong.

The JPE launchpad's Settings->Identification tab holds the default for icon and border coloring use, as well as the 2 removable device related settings. These settings, as they're named, are the default values for any future created launchpad item and any future created portable launcher.

Go take a look at the Settings dialog box at least once if you haven't already done so. It's there for a reason.
