This tool sets drive icons that can be seen on windows and mac os, with a gui and codebase that should work on linux, windows, and mac. I have tested it with png and jpeg, but it may work with other formats.
After getting the target drive and image, this tool...
- deletes the following files to prevent weird issues overwriting
.autorun.icoautorun.inf.VolumeIcon.icns._._.VolumeIcon.icns
- to apply windows icon it
- writes the icon as an ico file
- points to it with the
autorun.inffile
- to apply mac icon it
- writes the icon as an icns file
- writes the
._and._.VolumeIcon.icnsfiles- these files seem to be needed for the icon to appear - I don't know why
on mac os and unix systems, the autorun.inf file will be visible, as windows will not use it if it starts with a period
on windows systems, all files will be visible, as I haven't figured out a way to set the windows hidden property on non windows systems
- show drive names on windows via win32 api and build flags
- bring code up to golang standerds
- set windows hidden property for all written files - read fatattr's code?
- do it on unix systems
- add option to remove backgrounds from filetypes without transparency
- add options for how to crop non square files, instead of leaving it up to the os
- catch and log errors
if your building on your target os, go build . and fyne package will suffice. If you are building for a different os, fyne-cross <target os> is what you should do. This will require docker, and a rather large initial download. Finally, if you add or change files in the data folder, you will need to run go-bindata data/... to update the bindata.go file, as the contents of the data folder will not be built into the final executable. Thanks for taking the time to contribute/build from source/read this far!

Lots of help from the Discord Gophers server, thank you all!
