You can subfolder custom column icons!

TIL that, in advanced (template) mode, readstatus\unread.png with the icon placed in a readstatus subfolder works.

I'm not sure if this is an intended feature or just a side effect. Considering that it doesn't appear in the dialog for regular rules, Im leaning to unintended.

yep. good find

I got my 50 fanfiction-specific icons off the dropdown at least

Comfy.n · Yesterday, 07:28 PM

ah that's a very good use of it!

Anyone know why the cc_icons and library_icons folders are not in the resources/images folder?

My cc_icons folder is a shambles, I need a whereUsed report

would be nice to see all the places a text string is in library - esp. after changing column lookups

I don't follow.

Can't a "contain type" search find that?

I think @owb means in templates and such - e.g. if you change #foo to #bar and you have "if #foo is empty show transparent-square.png" somewhere it won't work, you need to change it to "if #bar...."

Basically search everywhere it's reff'd - I may use a column name in a stored template, column icon rule, another composite column....

You'd have to ask @chaley if it was intended, but my vague memory is that it is.
