Script Icons

adam_hafner

When I specify an an `icon` attribute on the `description` node, it has no affect.  I am using the stock icons that are listed in the documentation, but nothing ever appears in the UI.

Here's the XML for the `rgtool` file:
```

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<tool version="1">

  <description name="something" icon="data_unknown" version="1"><![CDATA[test]]></description>

  <author name="Bob" />

  <tags>

    <tag>SQLConcepts</tag>

  </tags>

  <ui>

    <output displaytype="Grid | OutputLog" width="500" height="400" />

    <block>

      <control type="header" label="Select server and database" />

      <control type="database" id="connection" />

    </block>

  </ui>

  <script type="Sql"><![CDATA[SELECT 'THIS IS WHERE SQL WOULD GO';]]></script>

  <signature />

</tool>
```

Here is what is displayed in the UI:


I couldn't find any screenshots in the documentation to demonstrate what it would look like.  I noticed that the canned scripts that came by default specify icons as well, but nothing seems to show for them in the UI either.

Hi @adam_hafner

 

Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your SQL Scripts Manager icon inquiry.

 

Looking into this, I believe that the icon functionality was removed in version 2.0.0 in 2017. 

This is before my time with Redgate but suspect this may connect to the application moving into a community version.

I would anticipate that existing scripts may retain the icon attribute, however it is not doing anything within the program.

@Jon_Kirkwood thanks for digging into the history on this one.  If that is the case, the documentation should be updated to identify that the schema tag is not recognized.  Since there is considerable documentation about this feature it leads to confusion.  Could that be updated?
