I would love to see your setup and files, I'm struggling to get a custom icon, only a grey circle with a ? inside.
Thank you for taking the time to explain on this issue. If you every decide to try to attack it again, perhaps in a different language too, please keep us in the loop.
I need to agree with Jerry... you have a AWESOME piece of software here... but folder names are essential for what I use it for. I would love an option in the future to index folder names. docfetcher + everything = everything... but everything is not quite everything, docfetcher is, minus folder names. Include the option and rename it everything^2 =)
