Moved development folder. Icons no longer showing on run

General

Hello all;

In preparation for an upcoming migration to a new computer, I am reorganizing data folders. On the old computer, I was using 3 sata disks. The new one will have two, larger nvme disks. So, in preparation, I moved my development folder from the third disk to the second disk. The whole folder, without any change within the folder. Icons remain in the same relative path to the application folder. This is on Windows 25H2, preparing for a move to Linux Mint.

Now, when I run the web app from the IDE(25R2.1 or the latest beta, same thing), icons are not showing up. They are present in the IDE. I can point to the actual icon file from the image file in the IDE. I checked the image files in a text editor, and updated the full path to the new location -yes, double checked that it is correct. The relative path was already correct. Did this for all image files. Still, this did not fix the problem. I then created new image files to replace some of the existing ones. They are also not showing when I run the application. I am obviously missing a check or manual fix somewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks!

When you run, do the images appear in the Resources directory?

I forgot to mention that I also checked that. yes, icons/images are present in the resources folder in the debugrun folder.

Continuing with my investigations… I grabbed one of my Linux test boxes (this one with MX Linux). Installed Xojo, added the licence file, copied the development folder as is to the user’s home folder. Added one plugin required for this application. Ran the application. It opened just fine in Firefox with all icons showing.

I went back to the Windows computer. I thought that it could be the browser, maybe. I normally use Brave. I opened the web app with Firefox and with Edge. Same issue. Not a browser-specific issue.

It seems that the issue is yet another of these I am sporadically having with Windows 11 25H2. Some disappear after an update. Reboots don’t help. Can’t wait for the new ssd’s to arrive so I migrate everything to Linux… I cannot say that it is solved, but clearly it is something I will not carry over to the new Linux setup.

Is the folder that you’re building into on OneDrive or Dropbox?

No. It is a local folder only. I haven’t used OneDrive for anything at all in a over year. There is only one folder linked to OneDrive, and it is not on the data disk. I don’t use any other service that would synchronize drives either.

I also disabled MIcrosoft Defendre Antivirus for a while, in case it would be the culprit.
