Icon

[Adrian Klaver]

How does one go about using a custom icon with an action?
I created a 32x32 PNG icon from a picture and pointed to it in Icon().
When I run the application nothing shows up and I get no error, so I am
not sure where to go from here?

Thanks,

Hello Adrian,

Have you assigned it to the action member "icon"?
Is the image in the "art" directory?

Try using an icon that is shipped with Camelot first, something like:

class MyAction( Action ):

verbose_name = 'My Action'
icon = Icon( 'tango/16x16/mimetypes/x-office-document.png' )

Do you see this one?

Best regards,
Jeroen

I called it as shown below:

new_plant_action = OpenNewView(self.get_related_admin(Plant))
new_plant_action.verbose_name = "New Plant"
new_plant_action.icon = Icon('tango/32x32/mimetypes/plant.png')

and yes the stock icons worked.

Hmmm, on a different machine it works. Both machines have the same
version of OS, OpenSUSE 12.2 and I thought the same versions of
libraries. Will have to investigate further.

Figured it out. On the machine where I was not seeing the icon I had an
old installation of Camelot that was on the PYTHONPATH before the one I
thought I was using. Removing the older version cured the issue.
