(SOLVED) Changing folder icons in SMB share


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Recently, I moved from Windows 10 to unRAID for the storage server. I used to change the folder icons of my movies and TV shows  with different colors to mark them as: Watched, To be watched next, not completed.

 

After moving my data to unRAID, the icons didn't work as expected. I did a quick research and found that Linux doesn't treat the "Read Only" files same as Windows, so the "desktop.ini" and ".ico" files don't work.

 

Is there any work around or a solution for this issue? any suggestions?

 

Thank you :)

Perhaps something alone the lines of this?

Thank you.

 

For reference, this has been resolved by adding the below line:

store dos attributes = yes

To:

Settings -> SMB -> SMB Extras -> Samba extra configuration

Keep it at the first line

 

Then reboot unRaid or restart samba using the below commands:

samba restart

smbd restart
