1:
you know we can change tab icons with "title|icon" using Rename Tab? But a search tabs' icons do not change in this way without a restart or "Refresh cache".

2:
for CTB and subscript/popup menu title, we can reference specific icon from a source file like this: This will take the 163rd icon from shell32.dll
but this method doesn't work anywhere else (CFI, catalog, UDC, tabtitles ...)
Will this be solved? meanwhile is there a workaround?
I tried shell32.dll;163/shell32.dll,163/shell32.dl#163 ... none worked.

I can foresee Don's answer: "I have never said it is supported anywhere else."

In the past I also made this "mistake". I expected that a new feature would work everywhere. But sometimes they work only locally.

1. Yo, fixed.
2. I have never said it is supported anywhere else.

1. Thanks!
2. Totally unacceptable, I won't accept it, mutiny!!!!!

changelog of v14.10.119 wrote:An icon specified in the caption (Rename Tab) is now resolved
relative to the Icons Path (default: <xydata>\Icons). Before, it's been
resolved to the app path

Apparently this bug still exists with catalog caption icons.

Also I didn't know it's possible to skip <xyicons> from icon path. However this doesn't seem to work with UDC icons.

Yes, well spotted. I will make them all behave the same.

Hi'
I'll jump on the bandwagon…

#1. has been fixed for standard "rename", but it's still for tab("rename"…).
With a "fresh" XY, doing e.g. tab("rename", "|:back") on a Search tab will only show the correct icon after tab-switching two times.
(This was introduced between v13 and v13.50 if I remember correctly —I could investigate if needs be).

Yep, well spotted!

Thanks, working great again now!

(Hehe, another one coming from my undisclosed mystery list of and that's been nearly auto-resolved…)
