Icons management

[ryosoftware]

Hello,
Hi, I'm just surprised that there's no API support for getting a list of stored icons or even getting one from its name.
Is there a reason for this?
I'd like to add some support for this in my Android app ;)
Thanks for the good work!

Hi,

Is there a reason for this?

Because I never faced a relevant use case 🙂
What exactly is yours?

Hello,
I have uploaded a lot of icons to my account for test purposes and do not sure if this affects the average of my server. I'm pretty sure that no, due to I assume that are stored in the filesystem, not at the DB... just curious ;)

Icons can be stored in the filesystem or in the DB. Have a look at the admin panel, there is a setting for this. By default only the filesystem is used for storing icons.

Indeed, when doing tests the quantity of stored icons may increase significantly. I always cleaned my filesystem manually, developing endpoints to deal with this is overkill in my opinion.

No problem to delete icons from the filesystem without deleting from DB?

When the admin setting Store icons to database is enabled, the filesystem is used as a cache. If the files are removed from the FS, 2FAuth will recreate any missing files (when the icons are to be served) using icon definition stored in the database.
