Question on Custom Actions and Icons

in Daz Studio Discussion

I'm using DS 4.21 and created a custom action for 'Cheyenne 9' and added it to favorites. Under Window/Workspace/Customize I'll find it and can edit it.

Nevertheless I switched 'Show Text and Icon' off or unchecked 'Show With Icon' in 'Edit Custom Action' the icon is show in the 'Favorites Menu'.

So how can I achieve that the icon is not displayed?

    Sorry, I was imprecise. Is there a way to get rid of the icon without removing it.

    No, the options govern whether the text is shown when there is an icon, the icon itself (if present) is always used.

    Thanks for clarification.

    I used to have the same requirement... here's a workaround though it's not an SOP ~~

    - Fully close DS. Go to %appdata%\DAZ 3D\Studio4 in File Browser, there's a file customactions.dsx Open it with Notepad++
    - Locate the Action... you'll see the path of Icon image, add a unique string at the end of it, e.g. ".mybak". Save the file.
    - Launch DS, the Icon will be gone. If you need the icons back some day, open customactions.dsx, delete ".myback", or replace them with an empty string.

    In this way, you don't have to add Icons back to Actions one by one if you need them again... But the cons is: you'll see no icon either in F3 - Action list...

    Thanks for info ... nice workaround :-)
