I'm trying to create a report component following the [example](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/blob/master/report-component/report-component-common/src/main/java/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/examples/report/component/shapes/Smiley.java). In the @ShapeMeta of Smiley.java, they have `iconPath = "smiley.png"`, and then smiley.png is in resources/images. I've done the same with my png icon, but I'm getting the following FileNotFoundException: ```auto java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Roaming\Inductive Automation\Designer Launcher\images\svgicons\status-chart.png.svg (The system cannot find the path specified) at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method) at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.open(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.connect(Unknown Source) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurrentEntity(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLVersionDetector.determineDocVersion(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(SAXDocumentFactory.java:453) at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(SAXDocumentFactory.java:357) at org.apache.batik.anim.dom.SAXSVGDocumentFactory.createDocument(SAXSVGDocumentFactory.java:225) at org.apache.batik.anim.dom.SAXSVGDocumentFactory.createSVGDocument(SAXSVGDocumentFactory.java:135) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.icons.SvgIconUtil.getDocument(SvgIconUtil.java:94) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.icons.SvgIconUtil.getSvgIcon(SvgIconUtil.java:67) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.icons.SvgIconUtil.getIcon(SvgIconUtil.java:55) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.icons.SvgIconUtil.getIcon(SvgIconUtil.java:47) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.icons.SvgIconUtil.getIcon(SvgIconUtil.java:39) at com.inductiveautomation.reporting.designer.api.DesignerShapeRegistry$ShapeDescriptor.(DesignerShapeRegistry.java:96) at com.inductiveautomation.reporting.designer.api.DesignerShapeRegistry.register(DesignerShapeRegistry.java:39) at com.tamakicontrol.designer.TamakiMESDesignerHook.startup(TamakiMESDesignerHook.java:67) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner$LoadedModule.startup(IgnitionDesigner.java:1957) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner.startupModule(IgnitionDesigner.java:1187) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner.lambda$loadProject$9(IgnitionDesigner.java:1009) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.accept(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$2$1.accept(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.ArrayList$ArrayListSpliterator.forEachRemaining(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.copyInto(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.wrapAndCopyInto(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp.evaluateSequential(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.evaluateSequential(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.evaluate(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline.forEach(Unknown Source) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner.loadProject(IgnitionDesigner.java:1008) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner$StartupProjectDialogHandler.lambda$new$2(IgnitionDesigner.java:2021) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) 14:40:14.923 [Designer-Startup] INFO SvgIconUtil - Unable to find image 'images/svgicons/status-chart.png.svg' ``` It looks to me like it's searching for the icon in the wrong spot and assuming it's an svg. Has something changed since this example was created? ---

Yes, it looks like when we modernized the designer UI we changed the icon lookup code to assume you're using an SVG. I'll look into this tomorrow to see if there's a workaround to provide your own icon or your own SVG or something. ---

So, doesn't look like there's any real way to workaround this, unfortunately. That's a mistake on our part that I'll make a ticket to correct. In the short term, you _might_ be able to put an _SVG_ into your module's resources/ directory at the mentioned `images/svgicons/` root, but I'm not sure if loading your resource will actually work across the gateway's split classloaders.
