Shortcut Icon Change of Icon via Launcher not possible

Post by chrisonline » 25 Jan 2018 10:24

In Takser I have set a "Shortcut" to a Task.
This shortcut has afterwards a default icon.

I use Action Launcher and if I tap and hold I get the option to "change" the icon and the text.
As on every ohter app icons.

But if I create a Shortcut from Automagic on my homescreen I don't get this option in Action Launcher.
Why? Is this a bug in Automagic?

Now I can only use the, in my opinion, ugly few standard icons of Automagic and can't use the millions icons from the icon packs out there.

So if it is a bug can you fix this?
If this is "works as designed" can you please create a standard "shortcut" icon where it is possible to use icon packs icons with a supported launcher?

I am using nova, and I can change the shortcut icon by long tap > edit.

Seems to be incompatibility with Action launcher. Can you try it with other launcher?

I agree though we have very limited icon selection. There has been the request to add more icons. Since we have UI revamped already in 1.34.

Yes you are right with Nova Launcher it works.
Will file a bug report to Action Launcher. Thanks!
