EXE icons out of nowhere (self.linux4noobs)

I haven't updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.

When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I'm dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.

As far I looked up, I can't find anything on internet.

I don't know if it's whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.

So, what's changed ?

Has a package named icoutils or similar been installed before? AfaIk, Dolphin uses it for generating the preview of Windows executables, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dolphin.

Don't have icoutils installed.

But now that I checked there is a option on Dolphin. I don't know if this is a new feature or something.

Also, I found this on reddit, which is 4 years old. So, I don't know.

I know there is the option in Dolphin, but I thought it required icoutils to be installed to work, as the wiki suggests.

What's strange is, I didn't even installed anything new. Just updated existing.
