Image Filetype Icons - Directory Opus is becoming sentient phenomenon?

I am using Directory Opus 12.31 on Windows 10.
This computer has only ever run Dopus 12.

I have been working on Directory Opus for two days going over toolbars from long ago and rethinking things. I have been working on a navigation toolbar and more today on rename presets and buttons.

What happened today is that my Image filetype icons in at least details mode changed to Directory Opus Icons that I have never seen before!

Even more, when I look at the filetype icons as listed in Settings -> Filetypes, they are the same as before the event. I think they are the Windows 10 default icons for images.

I know I did two different things before I noticed the event.

I made a button to change the creation timestamp on photos to EXIF date taken.
I have an old Minolta Camera that does not make a creation timestamp. The creation timestamp is always 1/1/1980 12:00 AM.

I made a button to append DopusInstall.exe to the current version.
Rename FILEINFO PATTERN *.exe TO *-{prodversion}.exe

Soon after this, my image filetype icons changed.
This also happened in Explorer.

A Y2K bug in DOpus ?
A DOpus Easter Egg ?
My computer is Bonkers ?
Or is Directory Opus becoming sentient and images are becoming Art ?

I like them and prefer them over the icons shown in Filetypes .

The Open-With system in Windows can affect which icons are shown for types it is overriding. It's most likely that.

Presumably the same icons are shown everywhere else, including File Explorer, too.
