XYplorer Beta Club

Hi Don,

When I add a custom toolbar button to the catalog, e.g. via Location: ":ctb7", then all looks ok at first.
When I remove the button from the toolbar, then restart XY, then the catalog looks something like in the picture, the custom icon and caption are missing. The catalog button still works but it is just displayed wrong.

When I keep the ctb in the toolbar visible then all is displayed ok even after a restart.

The main point of me having a ctb in the catalog is because the catalog cannot show a custom icon. But I do not want the button in the toolbar as well, that would be unnecessarily cluttering the interface.

Regards, me

Maybe this doesn't solve the issue totally, but you can get an icon if you use this format in the Caption block:
Caption: Thumbnail Maintenance|:viewthumbs
Location: ::button ctb39,1

Wow, nice.
Thx, that really is my preferred solution.
I hoped for that but never tried it out because the help file specifically did not say anything like that.

So, then that would be a related bug report:
Help file needs to be updated in that area.

BTW, your Location string is quite misleading in this context. It really can be anything, unrelated to toolbar buttons. The icon is just specified after the pipe character in the Caption string. Syntax, I assume, would be as in a custom toolbar button's icon field?

Yes, I suppose the way I wrote it, is more like directly running a script. Either way works. Maybe I should have stuck with (at least for my example): :ctb39 since that, with the same caption, works fine. Though using the syntax I suggested, ::button ctb31, 2 with the "2" you can run the right click of the CTB definition. I couldn't get the CTB right click function to run using your example.

Original issue confirmed. Fixed in next beta.

Thx
