anything I can do to keep the igntion icon for a project from disappearing? it works fine at first but it seems that it gets lost somehow and the shortcut icon looks like a shortcut to a unrecognized file.

I have observed this as well. Very mysterious… I’ll look into it and see what I can find. Seems like an intermittent problem with Java Web-Start that started happening around a year ago.
