Why are custom made icons disappeared with an update of Domoticz?

[McJohn]

With an update of Domoticz all the custom made icons are disappeared.
Is it not possible to make an update/program that keep the existing custom made icons?

I too have some custom icons but I cannot replicate this behavior. Only the icons already included in the domoticz package are overwritten. My custom ones (for example the ones named MoonPhases*.png) are untouched when I update.

Can you describe in a bit more detail how you update and what you see.

[McJohn]

Thanks for the quick reply.

The custom made icons are into the directory:
/home/pi/domoticz/www/images

The last update from Domoticz 2020.2 (build 12067) to Domoticz 2020.2 (build 12154) (done with the WEB GUI),
vanished all the custom made icons

Which icons (names) are no longer available ?

[McJohn]

We made for example some Beacon icons (Beacon.png). They are all gone after this update.

HI,

I do not recognize this as well. Never seen this.

Running on the same build (12154), upgraded with the WebGUI

Both standard icons and custom icons are installed in the same directory, ~/domoticz/www/images.

All standard icons are owned by user pi and group pi, with rights 644, while the custom icons are owned by root:root, with rights 640.

Thanks for your contribution.

I now see that the problem is not the icon files by themselves (they exist, sorry) but it was the switch_icons.txt file.
The (last) names of the custom made icons in this file were disappeared ..
after the update to
Raspbian Buster 10 Linux raspberrypi 4.19.118-v7+ #1311 (April version)
or the update to Domoticz build (12154).

"Rain;Rain;Rain" was suddenly the last (standard) text and after replacing the beacon text AND a restart of Domoticz, the beacons images were back again! (instead of the lamp).

There is really something strange going on with this April version of Buster.

I'm going back asap to the January version.

Kind regards.

I do recognise this behaviour.
If I update Domoticz I have to backup switch_icons.txt in domoticz/www first, else this file is overwritten during update.
After the update I paste the extra (custom) line of icons into this file in again.
After a restart, the icons are back. But this is not how it should be in my opinion.
