Keep custom icon when updating a favorite

Could a custom set icon be held onto when updating a favorite?
Eg... If I change anything of the favorite, name, location, parms, the custom set icon revertt back to the default. So I have to reset it as welll
Can that var be held onto even thou other parts of the string have changed? -

I cannot reproduce this issue. Could you give more details (steps to reproduce the issue, icon resource detail)? -

It's happened a few times as I'm working working a project in development. I've changed both file and folder names, that had custom set icons. Once the menu couldn't find them id update the location, and would have to reset the icon as well. That var seems to get lost once the if file exists can't find a favorite.
Alas I'm just getting on the road for the month of Dec. Away from my main rig for a bit so I can't send more of an example at the moment. I'll touch base again in a few week again when I can. If you can't discover the cause before then.

Ps and off topic.. this has been the project I've been working on for a few months. Check it out if you have a mind to. I'd love to hear feed back on it.

Don't judge the code to much. I'm a noob. Been playing with ahk for less than year and have never programed anything before. It's been hacked together from many sources. Been learning how to clean the code up. It's maybe kind of simple compare to what you having going on in QAP thou I've been loving piecing this together and using it across multiple softwares
Added a couple more features that have been able to upload yet to the files menu, the ability to open the windows context menu from a text source. It been fun learning all these tricks.
Anyway... I'm rambling. -

Oh, I've been able to reproduce the issue with a favorite Document (not with a Folder). I can change it to keep the custom icon when editing a document favorite (instead of adding a new one). The question is: are there situations where user would expect QAP to use the default icon of the new document instead of keeping the custom icon? -

I feel like if we've gone thru setting a custom icon it should stay, at this point if a default icon is preferred than I'd use the "reset to default" button.
In my menu I particularly enjoy the folder popup menus.
I used notepad++ 85% of the time, Ctrl + space, with nothing selected open a menu of the folder where the document is. If a file pathe is highlighted, it shows that document folder.
I've set .ahk file to open in notepad++, or a default text editor.
This is menu is just a snippet of my main script, which is about 40 .ahk files. It makes jumping between them a breeze.
The alternative open with menu is great too, for sending a doc to multiple Editors, dopus, or everything, and\or copy details from it.
The files menu is my fav discovery ! for taking action on file from a selected filepath within a document, no need to navigate to a browser window!
I've set personal menu to have more options and to work in multiple apps. I've not share that much in the script cause there's a lot of variables on there's machines that I'm not sure how to capture for the menus to see and use.
Everything else this menu does QAP and your clipboard app already does better.
There may nothing in here that you have already seen. I hope a little piece of it might spark and idea for one of your projects.
After all it was QAP which helped me to see the magic and ahk in a menu form. -
