Thank you!

Just saw that I forgot two of them (Recent File Ops and History). Next beta... :whistle:

@Don: I have noticed another side effect of the recent icon changes, previously it was possible to use an asterisk as the icon source when using fields in inputselect and it would use the generic/CFI folder icon for the item, now just a plain page icon is shown.

eg. inputselect(, regexreplace(quicksearch("/dna", <xydata>), "^(.+?)$", "$1||*"), <crlf>, 1025);

should I just script around this, or do you think you'll bring that behavior back.

Starting with v23.70.0353, the use of generic icons in the menus is now optionable with a tweak:
PopupMenusGenericIcons=1
So if you set that to 0, you should get the other icons back.

This is a side effect of the bug fix indirectly mentioned here (viewtopic.php?p=205043#p205043). It will be fixed in the next beta. There might be other instances of generic icons in such lists where there were specific ones before. Let me know.

What about CFA entries?

All mine that e.g. load scripts (and these entries are working fine when called) have now a question mark icon

E.g.: |"Extract icon(s)" exe>::load "Extract icons.xys";

Before, they had the blue script icon?

Yeah, they had. But I didn't update for a few beta versions (on my own portable one) so I missed the version when they lost that icon

Just to make that clear: It's not about their appearance in the context menu itself (those icons are fine), the configuration dialog for CFA shows them with the question mark icon
