Blocs V6.0.4 - Icon Improvements

Just a quick note to highlight some improvements we have made to using SVG Icons in Blocs v6.0.4.

What about within text and not just at the beginning ? Somewhat mentioned here in this thread previously. Could the Icon Manager have entries and be accessed from the following text formatting UI areas within Blocs?

text-formatting

Also how long does it take the new update icon mentioned as part of v6.0.3 to show up? It never did for me and I don’t have dial up. :smile:

update-icon

Yes, I would like to add support for this and basic text links. However it is a little more problematic regarding the Layer Tree and if it’s introduced it’ll need to be beta tested.

It was pretty much instant for me, I’ll do a few tests and see if I can spot delay.

That’s just brilliant :slight_smile:

Guess it’s better to wait and observe like whats required with Apple’s own updates, was eager to see that new little update icon. Maybe next time with v6.0.5. :smirk:
