ImagePath .ext option

[nix_newb]

If I use the /some/dir;.ext option then I cannot scale .svg icons.

For example:
ImagePath .fvwm/icons;.svg:+
Style xterm MiniIcon console.svg:24x24

Then when I alt+tab, I have very large images in the window list instead of the 24x24 icon because it’s not applying the scaling.

If I remove the ;.svg from the ImagePath, the icons are scaled correctly in the window list. Except then I don’t get the benefit of the .ext feature.

I thought the man page was pretty clear about how to use this feature, but I can’t seem to make it work. Is this just a limitation of the option? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Do you have the same file with different image types in the directory e.g. console.jpg/png/xcf ? Because the manpage said:

The original image name (that may contain another extension or no extension at all) is not probed, instead “.ext” is added or replaces the original extension.

So, the first found file console.xxx will be loaded. And if it is not a svg the scaling won’t work …

It was displaying the correct and only image of that name, it just wasn’t scaling it.

In one of my old configs I use svg, too. Try this]
Style xterm EWMHMiniIconOverride, Icon console.svg:24x24, MiniIcon console.svg:24x24
[/code]

@TF

Try this]
Style xterm EWMHMiniIconOverride, Icon console.svg:24x24, MiniIcon console.svg:24x24
[/code]

Essentially that is what I have. xterm doesn’t need the hint, Icon controls the icon on the desktop, AFAIK not the mini icon. So take those out and you have reproduced what I originally posted. That being said… tries anyway No effect.
