That is a fair statement but I just copied a line from the existing code and changed the filename of the icon that it is using for the custom file format menu option.  Seems like something like that should not cause any issues, I was thinking maybe there was a something else that I was not aware of for loading the icons for the OpenSCAD menu.  I was not asking for anyone to debug custom code I wrote.

Also, crucially, if you are not already doing so, you will need to specify a debug build using cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ... ( or at least RelWithDebInfo ) in order for debugging to work at all.

Asking others to debug your code with no link to source is not likely to succeed.

What's that colon at the front of the string?

Thanks, that is probably what I missed, adding the new icon to "resources/common.qrc.in"

If the issue is with Qt Resources, then you probably need to add your file to the listing in "resources/common.qrc.in"
BTW the extraneous '.in' suffix is because our CMakeLists uses that file to configure some variableshttps://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L1138

My way of Debugging IS to add printf's in strategical relevant places and watch the Output. In contrast to using gdb you can also Display big amounts of intermediate Data Well formatted for Reviews.
