I am in the process of cleaning up my custom icons to make them all the same size with similar padding. I noticed that you can add a new icon with the same name and it warns you that it is replacing an existing icon, which is good. But if you go ahead then it seems to break the tie between all tiles and the new icon. The tile will show the old icon on the dashboard but when editing will show a broken icon. Shouldn’t the desired behavior be to update the tiles with the new icon? Or does it and I am not doing it correctly? Thanks.
I just tried what you did. I over wrote a different icon with the same name. I get the same broken icon. I guess I never noticed that before. I think you did it correctly. Icons must be called with something other than the name…
That’s what the warning is trying to say when you upload an image with the same name:
It’s using cloud storage which generates a unique token for each upload (rather than leaving them ‘public’ where someone might be able to guess the path).
My bad. I didn’t read the last part of that message. It would be nice if the process of overwriting the file created the token and then reconnected to the impacted dashboards? I can’t imagine a use case where I would want to upload a file of the same name, agree to overwrite it, but not want to use it in place of the old image?
But you are right - it did warn me!
