The samples above use '*Poster*.jpg' as the generated folder icon. Certain templates with specific configurations may combine additional files located within the folder directory to achieve the results as shown above. If the required additional files are not available, they will be ignored, and the folder icon will be generated without them.
To give you an idea of how it looks and how you can use it,
I've made a video that you can watch it Here.
Some templates include configuration settings that can be customized according to your preferences. To modify the configuration, open the 'template file.bat' using a text editor and adjust the values. The 'template file.bat' can be found at RCFI Tools\templates\.

In the end, My role involves is just bringing together the work and ideas of others to bring this project to happend.
- This project was inspired by Anime Icon Matcher 2018 by serenity !29TgfcZgPU, which I used a lots in the past.
- This project owes its existence to ImageMagick, the tool that is use to process and edit images.
- I utilize the SingleInstanceAccumulator by Beej126 to accumulate the selected items in Explorer so it doesn't make a new instance for each selected items.
- I use PSD templates by em1l, saikuro, mauricioestrella, 90scomics.com and Jonathan Brimer to create all available folder icon templates.
- While working on this project, I also drew some inspiration from FolderIco, Raticon and Folderify.
A big thank you to all mentioned above for their contributions.
