Lightbulb icon cannot be used as Next action icon #100

Closed Doemaas closed 5 years ago

Doemaas commented 5 years ago

macOS 10.14.6, Freeplane 1.7.9/10, FreeplaneGTD 2.1.1-alpha4/2.5.0 Fresh install Freeplane, FreeplaneGTD, restart Freeplane. Mindmap with GTD settings with icon:idea (lightbulb), generating next action list with Ctrl-H throws error "Trying to reuse icon:idea as 'Next action'"

Seems like the icon is already in use within the map. Could happen if you already have the setting defined on another branch within the same file.

Please attach a mm that can reproduce the issue.

Nb. Development of the 2.1 branch is terminated as of 2019/9/14, due to the removal of the core component used for displaying the task list from Java. The new display will be created using old-school Java Swing for those who are already on a later version of Java. It will take a long time.

Created new map with only GTD settings. See attached. IconError.mm.zip

Thank you for the map! I traced the issue back to an omission in the documentation.

Icons

The plugin uses a number of pre-set icons to identify the action items, and their properties. These can be changed according to the users liking.

To customize these icons you must place a node with the text above anywhere in your map and add a desired icon to that node. I suggest you place it under a "Config" or "Settings" node in the root of the map, so it doesn't get mixed up with the actual map content.
