Correct Icons not appearing in Composer

[zaphod]

I am working on a driver and I can't get the correct icons to show up in Composer.  I have no issue getting my custom icons to show up in Navigator but they are not showing up at all in Composer.

I have created a 16x16 file and a 32x32 file they are in the www/icons folder and they are referred to in the xml as can be seen below.  But no matter what I do Composer displays the default media player icon which is three DVDs with a rainbow effect.

  <small image_source="c4z">icons/device_sm.png</small>
  <large image_source="c4z">icons/device_lg.png</large>
  <control>lua_gen</control>
  <composer_categories>
    <category>Audio/Video</category>
  </composer_categories>
  <proxies>
    <proxy proxybindingid="5001" name="SageTV" image_source="c4z" small_image="icons/device_sm.png" large_image="icons/device_lg.png">media_player</proxy>
  </proxies>

And here is the www/icons folder:

Any suggestions?

Everything looks correct in terms of file locations and names. I wonder if it's the lack of the "qty" attribute in the <proxies> element, see below from the Getting Started Guide:

<proxies qty="1">
       <proxy proxybindingid="5003" name="KEYPAD" small_image="devices_sm/keypad_16.gif" large_image="devices_lg/keypad_32.gif">light_v2</proxy>
</proxies>

Maybe try adding the "qty" attribute and seeing if that works?

Why so you have them 2x? They should only be once

What should only be once? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I was originally using a gif and switched to a png - I will try gif again in case I didn't have something else correct before.  But I am pretty sure that I have seen other drivers using png.

I am guessing you mean the small_image definitions that are on their own and then within the <proxy> statement.  I added the one within the proxy statement when I couldn't get it working at first.  

[zaphod]

I tried gifs and that didn't work.  I also but in the qty field and that didn't work either.  Very strange!

[Rexabyte]

If you want to send me the .zip without the script portion I can take a further look.

Any update on this?  I'm having the same problem.

The icons are always of the Proxy... nothing custom seems to work. I've tried GIF & PNG. I've tried in the Composer & in the Driver.

share your XML

[ChicagoGuy]

I've dumbed it down quite a bit.  I have a full driver somewhere else, but I figure if I can't get a basic one to change, why keep working on the complex one. I'm also trying this out on the Virtual Controller right now...

 

In this example, it continues to show the cable icon, not my modified icon (aptly named Android).

Directory Structure:

[msgreenf]

Well i can't tell if your directory structure is correct, but that is the www/icons folder?

I also think they need to be PNG not gif

 

[ChicagoGuy]

So, that is the www/icons folder.  I also tried PNGs.  I tried both forward & backward slashes.  I noticed that the DriverWorks app doesn't update the XML appropriately, so I only use it to build & publish, not update the code.

I'm wonder if the Composer is caching it badly, so I'm not seeing any changes.  I'd love to see a basic example that someone else has working to see if it works in my environment.

 

[ChicagoGuy]

Well, I got it to some degree.  The SMALL & LARGE tags seem to have no effect, but I can overwrite the image at the proxy level.  However, only the small one. The large one stays as the DVD powered on logo. 

I also took them out of my project and started to use the ones in the composer directories.

I also found the cache:  C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Control4\3.1.3\etc\c4z

The driver gets saved here after adding it to the project and then unpackaged. If not enough of the driver has changed, Composer uses the old driver. I noticed it wasn't being updated after loading updated versions.
