Let us give you some details that may become handy for the icon manager
When you have the permission to manage icons (b_icon_manage) then you now have the ability to set server, client, group and channel icons or to upload and delete icons.
Uploading will only work in case you have the permissions and file transfer is enabled in general on your server.
You can find the main Icon Manager in the server info by clicking the icon that looks like a picture frame.
There also smaller versions of Icon Manager available when you set a client or channel icon as an example.
In the main Icon Manager you have following functions
Upload icons . This one will appear in all dialogs where you can set an icon.
Set the icon for the server, channel, channel groups, server groups with a right click on target icon.
Set the client icon (only for those clients you see in the server tree) with a right click on target icon. You will get a list with these clients.
Remove the current server icon. The icon appears on top when there is an icon set
Delete the icon you clicked with right mouse button.
Client icons for all users can be set or removed In the client list .
Do a right click on target client and select “Choose Client Icon”.
The removes the icon from client
Channel icons can be set or removed in the channel edit dialog (clicking the pen on top)
In there you will find another pen on the big hexagon icon.
They will only apply by pressing the apply button on top

Nice to have the ability to manage icons, but i’d prefer it to have an option on each client/channel/group to add icons. It’s not really handy to use the current system on a large ts server with hundrets of ppl connected.
Edit: An Entry in context menus management section “Edit Icon” or sth. like that would be brilliant. (on each client/channel)
I’m disappointed by the update, 1, the one with the icons at the top of the bar doesn’t look good and then with the picture frame, I would have a better suggestion if you right-click on the server where the list comes in reiter makes where are icons where you get to the icon menu, and 2, I think it’s a shame that only such small updates come, where most things are still fixed because I would like you to take more time and much more inside makes, therefore sadly easy how it currently looks with the updates.

You can use the client list in case. There you can search for the users and you can add or remove icons. No matter if they are online or offline.
We decided against the context menu entry to ensure that the list is not overloaded.

We appreciate your feedback.
But please remember we are just a small team. Some of the updates may be small but we want to ensure that we deliver regular updates. Which is important to us.
I’d actually love tho have this option from client list in the servertree aswell.
To have it in client list may be a small workaround for large servers.
As you can see on my gif, you currently can’t change the channel codec with the client version 5.0.0-beta61. The same bug also appears when changing the channel quality.
