[Scilab-users] Xcos custom block - icon path problem

[Clément David]

Hello Peter,

In my view, the palette should be created on toolbox loading (eg. on
the .start file) because, as you highlight, path may vary between
built-time and load-time. Furthermore, palette creation does not require
many computation time and perform only runtime consistency checks.

As a reference, please take a look at the xcos_toolbox_skeleton on the
SCI/contrib directory.

Regards,
