Question about something else (FindIconsBy) #6

Description

@EctoOne

Hi,
sorry to post this here but there is no repository for it, if I found the correct person.

I assume that you are also the author of FindIconsBy. If not, sorry again and just ignore the rest of this.
If you are the author, I have some requests/suggestions. I like the idea of the program but I find it very limited, since it only shows the found icons.

I would like to have an LFORMAT option, to make it easier to process the found icons. Based on the LFORMAT arguments from the List command, it probably would be enough for %p (path), %n (name including .info) and %m (name without .info). Using this option should also disable the Total icons found line.

I'm currently using a SED command to turn FindIconsBy output into a script to process the found icons, but that is very inconvenient for multiple reasons.

In addition to this, if possible, it would be nice to have an extra LFORMAT argument which could return the position (number) of a found tooltype. I'm asking for this because FindIconsBy is the only program, I found so far, which can find "empty" tooltypes. DoIcon is the program I use the most for shell based icon manipulation and it has a "Search and do something with it" option, but it can't find and delete empty tooltypes. If I could get the position number with FindIconsBy, I could pass that on to DoIcon.

Sorry again if you're the wrong person, and that I posted it here.

Greetings
