Couple of Win 10 (and its tools) questions please

[PaulSc]

Hi
Have a couple of Windows 10 related (and a RoboCopy one sneaked in...) questions please..

Running 64 Bit Home CU version
[pre]
1/ Windows Explorer not updating Extra Large icons on image change/edit

I have loads of images on disk, collected off the web, from cameras etc etc and mainly display them
using the Extra Large Icons view however if an image is edited/rotated etc (using 3rd party tools
such as Irfanview, Paint.net) the thumbnail image doesn't refresh.
However if I then use the default Rotate Left/Rotate Right it then does seem to perform a refresh.

I've tried various fixes described elsewhere such as changing the View to smaller icons then back but no
luck, cleared the iconcache etc but all to no avail...

Anybody any ideas for a more permanent fix please

2/ My images are all stored in various sub-folders and each one contains a number of png 'icon' files.
I'd like to refresh all these from a central source folder but with 3-400 folders/1-10 possible
icons per folder a script is probably the best approach.. I guess RoboCopy or Powershell would
work best but I need to only refresh an icon if it exists in the subfolder (and not insert any new ones)

i.e

source has
icon1.png
icon2.png
..
icon10.png

destination may have
Folder1
icon1.png
icon5.png

folder 2
icon3.png
icon9.png

folder 3
no png

folder 4
icon1.png
icon3.png
icon4.png
icon5.png
icon8.png
icon9.png

requirement is to only refresh if they currently exist so that in Folder 1 case I don't get additional icons2,3,4 etc and not end up with all 10 in each subfolder..?

Cheers
PaulSc.

*Found a script to help with 2.

Used RoboCopy with the /XL switch which only copies files if a newer copy exists and doesn't copy "Lonely" files...
