Very, very minor issue: taskbar icon

in BGII:EE Bugs (v1.2.2030)
Interesting to note that the icon for the game launcher on Windows correctly shows the Waukeen icon, but the taskbar icon for the game itself (which you'd only ever see if you minimize the game while playing) incorrectly shows the BG1 icon in the taskbar. This bug totally does not need to be fixed unless there is some legal copyright reason to do so, which is the only reason I mention it at all.

    Another interesting and (probably) related problem: If you enable the quicklaunch bar and place a shortcut to BGEE and BG2EE on it, they both display the same icon ("BG").

    Third issue: if you launch the game through a shortcut and the Beamdog client is not yet running, the Beamdog client icon on the taskbar changes to the same icon that the game uses.

    Hi
    Issue 6354 looks to cover the first two. @sea, does the launcher icon stay that way or is it only for a few seconds.

    It stays that way permanently, until Beamdog is closed entirely.

    Windows 8.1. I'll attach a picture tonight. (I'm running behind on providing files for bugs, alas...)

    Attached. Note the two BG icons. The first is the pinned icon that I use to start the BG2 launcher, BG2EE.EXE -- it is correct (i.e., it uses the Waukeen image). The one to the right of it is the icon of that actual game in progress (BALDUR.EXE) -- it is incorrect, as it uses the Bhaal icon from BG1.

    By the way, BALDUR.EXE has lots of other wrong properties as well. Its properties (such as description) incorrectly correspond to BG1, not BG2 -- see the other image I uploaded. This image is absolutely from the BALDUR.EXE in Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition\Data\00783 -- this is *not* from the BALDUR.EXE in M:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766. Looks like this is a cut/paste of the resource that didn't get updated for BG2.
