Bug? Changing icons from the menu causes crashes.

Using 4.0.1, devo 10.

First off; thanks for enabling these features from the devo10. Amazing work.

When an icon is placed in the modelico folder (H8.bmp) and this icon is changed from the transmitters menu, (model menu > model setup > Icon) and another icon is selected than the standard ones available, the transmitter crashes. Unless you rename this icon to plane.bmp it works like a charm. While browsing to that H8.bmp icon, it also publishes a wrong name, it shows up as _MULT~1.bmp. Once selected, it crashes. Friend of mine is experiencing the same issue with his Devo.

If this icon is defined using an edit tool in the model.ini and the original name is being used (H8.bmp), and the H8.bmp file is put in the modelico folder, it works like it should. Right icon is shown in the menu and the name h8.bmp can be used).

I can confirm that this bug has been present for a long time, and is still in the latest nightlies. I'm using both Devo 7e and 10. I have gotten around it by editing the model files directly, and it's only a minor annoyance, but it would be nice if it could be fixed.

Is there any issue in the issue tracker? I will try to see if I can fix this.

I tried it out in the emulator, but I cannot reproduce this bug. Have you tried it in the emulator?

I've only seen corrupted model icon causing a reboot. If you remove or replaced the bad model icon, it solves the problem.

I just tried removing all my extra icons, leaving only the stock icons, freshly copied from a new install, but the bug remains on my Devo 7e, using v4.0.1-a5a424c.

I can't replicate the bug in the emulator.

I don't know if anyone figured out the bug but I think it is because of OS X putting in ._XXX.bmp files.

I open terminal and cd /modelico folder
rm ._*.bmp which removed all the extra files.

and it works for me now. I can browse all the icons. Make sure it is 8.3 format.

I think you've figured it out! I am using OS X. I just followed your instructions and now I can finally change icons through the GUI. Thanks!

I've been having that same issue, I'd just like to thank Kahuna for helping me out, works a charm.
