Locked Accessing new icons in Layout Editor

 

I am unable to get a new folder of icons.gif to work in LE.
I have searched the forum for other peoples similar issues and noted various recommendations.

I have put the icons in 5 different folders and in each case the icon editor shows them in the list but selecting one does not appear in the preview box or on LE.

I am using PanelPro 4.13.6 ish from Jenkins under Win10

My panel.xml (s) and profile are in a custom folder like
....\user\profile\etc

Here are the paths I have tried putting the new icons:
1? ?.. .\user\resources\icons\gwrsigs\manyicons
2? ... .\user\resources\gwrsigs\manyicons
3? ... .\user\icons\gwrsigs\manyicons
4? ... .\user\gwrsigs\manyicons
5???....\user\profile\resources\gwrsigs\manyicons?
 

I believe the expected path would be:

...\user\profile\etc\resources\icons\gwrsigs\manyicons

Meaning the resources tree is expected to be in the same directory as the
profile expects the user files to exist.

Paul T,
I just had similar issue in a few threads back. Ken is right but my changes did not show up until I restarted PanelPro. Moving files then looking in PanelPro without a restart will not work.

Ken, I tried that with same non-working result
 

Paul D,
Yes I restarted JMRI at each attempt. Not curing it though.
 

Paul T,

Does the icon selector at least show the second tree? This would mean it
found the starting 'resources\icons' in the user space. Just to make sure of
where it thinks what is, please do this:

1. Open PanelPro
2. Open the console (Help->System Console)
3. Scroll to the part of the log where it lists the paths to things. There's
about 5 or 8 lines of paths.
4. Copy/paste that into an email so we can see the listed paths.

For Ken, here is most of the Sys Console listing so you can see the exact JMRI version in use

Paul,

From your paths, your custom icons would be:

E:\My Docs\MR general\JMRI data & Docs\Pseudo_Dartmouth_2018\resources\icons

That should show from the second entry in the icon finder tool.

Hi
Is this when adding the icon or editing it.
Adding had a problem which will be fixed in next test release or 4.13.7ish as off this morning.

Edit icon should work.

Have you read the information at this link?

It will help you understand the JMRI file structure.

Ken
I had already tried that, doesn't work.
 

Yes
 

Neither adding or editing work.
I will try again tomorrow with 4.13.7ish
 

By the time I got there JMRI test release 4.13.6 was available so I have tried this.
Now the add new icon with change icons enabled works as expected.? However edit existing icon still does not.

I am now running Jenkins 4.15.1ish and same fault shows, ie add custom icon is ok BUT edit is not.

I will submit this as a bug report
 

Steve G has pointed out that you use different techniques for adding or editing icons.
Now I know that, using drag&drop for edit works just fine.
Bug report closed.

Thanks to him and all others who helped get me over this hurdle.
