  • Lost icons

    From Brian Jordan@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 28 14:49:43 2021
    A number of file icons (html, pdf and url so far) have been replaced by a
    grey square with a green question mark on this machine. This seems to
    have happened when I looked at Iris yesterday.
    I know it is possible to prevent software from overwriting the sprite
    pool and that is possible to reinstate it but it's a long time since I
    have had to deal with this. Can someone give me a nudge.
    Thanks B

    There's an option to protect icons in 'Configure > Theme' but you'll
    probably have to re-boot to get them back.

    Thank you Tim. that option was off so I corrected it and rebooted and all
    is now working as it should.
