I noticed that I cannot search for it and find it. When I check the properties, it's named http://i37.tinypic.com/25fndzt.jpg, so how do I find it again if I change it?

Save the original one that Shal put up form your request thread to disk. That's what I did.

I did, but that's not a real answer for this problem. That's just a bandaid.

I don't believe it's stored in any kind of accessible database. If you were to upload a new one it would copy over your current one.

Right. I believe that's what I remember reading.

Basically MegaIcons are stored on a per user database, so you go back to that, not to the main icon database

Really? That kinda sucks. plain

I have to admit I don't like anything about this new graphics process except the larger icon size.

why don't you like that?

It's a rather nice process compared to just lumping them in with the 20,000 icons already in the database tongue

If I lose my copy, the only way I can get it again is if Shalis is around and still has her copy.

Pretty much, yep sad

I do hold on to mine for ages before I delete them, I used to keep them permanently but it was using up too much space so I deleted almost everything I ever made sad

heh, my 'only recent' collection of .psd files is now 11.2 gig. That's better than I expected though since a couple are ~1gig alone. tongue

I back that stuff up to DVD, but my system for organizing those is poor, good luck finding something specific if I needed it in a hurry. =/

but I see that crappy icons are appearing in the database already though.

search for bleach for example and you will see blocky icons. Not sure how they got into that database or is only the megaicon a special database?

The whole database is... kind of screwed up ATM... I don't think they had a plan other than to dump the 80x80 ones all together and separate out the 120x120 ones... and I think they did that simply because they didn't want to another "Admin Only" like category :\
