+13Hi,
Is it save to assume that icons that cannot be updated with this feature are not used in the model? And can be removed without issue.
If so, would it be an option to create a prefilter/(or task) ‘Unused icons’ - similar to whats available on the Domains-tab.

Hi
I meant something similar like this, for unused icons.
You are right that it would be much more convenient to use a prefilter to quickly identify which icons are not in use. This is exactly why we already added this prefilter to the icons screen, the screenshot was actually a screenshot of the Icons screen.
However, I was under the impression that this prefilter had already been released in the latest platform version (2024.3), but it appears we added it slightly later. This means it will be released and available for you in the next platform release.
Also, here the task is not available. Why is this? I assume it is disabled when the Icons is not in use. Since it is not use, where would you update it?
Now I understand 😀 You are correct, this task becomes read-only when the icon is not in use, precisely for the reason you mentioned. Therefore, it would be safe to delete the icon in this case, provided you don’t plan to use it in the future.
However, as mentioned earlier, the prefilter offers a more convenient (batch-wise) way to identify unused icons, so you can also consider waiting for the next platform version.
Does this answer your questions?
+9Hi
I don’t quite understand yet why an icon might not be able to be updated by the task you’re referring to, and if that’s the case, why that would mean the icon isn’t being used.
On the contrary, I would say that if the icon cóuld be replaced, the previously used icon is no longer in use.
In any case, the prefilter you mentioned does already exist:
Perhaps you’re on an older platform version where it didn’t exist yet?
+13Hi,
Yes, on Domains is exists. I meant something similar like this, for unused icons.

+13Hi,
Ah, it all makes sense. I’ve delete some icons with this ‘method’ but it’s quite a lot of work; icon per icon..
I’ll wait for the next release! Not urgent.
All clear, thanks for much!
