where icons are stored

I have a basis folder for all of my TestStand projects, which contains all the project relevant things. In the station options -> Preferences -> Configuration directory I have set my config folder, everything looks fine.

 

But, my customized icons are loaded only from the TS default location:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2010\Components\Icons

 

Is it possible to change this path to my project folder?

Hi,

 

I had the same task. I also found out that icons in the search dirctory does not care.

I think thats clear, because TS loads all icons before initializing project stuff.

Just a note:

You should not use C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2010\Components\Icons because it should be private by TS.

You should use PublicComponents folder instead.

Normally this is: C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2010\Components\Icons

or find it via statement: RunState.Engine.GetTestStandPath(TestStandPath_PublicComponents)+\\Icons

 

Regards
