Hi,

I'm astonished when I tried inserting my custom diagram icons back.
V7 looks like you can't browse through your Windows folder and attach your customised icon.
This surely can't have been overlooked by C.P. ?
Any suggestions.

Thanks

The workaround is to insert your Icon files in the C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Icons folder or a subfolder.

By using that standard folder means your custom Icons and custom Diagrams will migrate to another/new PC without any problems with file paths. It is similar to keeping your Media files inside the Project's Media folder or externally. The former migrate easily but the external paths pose a challenge. So maybe by only allowing Icons files in that Icons folder, FH is asserting a better way of working. The Help for the 'Box Features Dialog' now says for custom Icons:

You will need to save the icon in a sub-folder of the 'Icon's folder, in the Program Data area for Family Historian. On most installations this is located at C:\ProgramData\CalicoPie\Family Historian\Icons.

Thanks Mike.

Appreciate your help.

Kind regards,
Mike
