Only a subset of custom icons is displayed in selection list

[Ernst]

In the latest desktop version (MacOS and Windows versions 6.5.2), only a subset of all custom icons is displayed in the selection list (in my case, there are 44 icons visible out of more than 100). The IOS version 6.5.2 shows all custom icons, so you can select one for an entry or also delete one. In the desktop version, if you want to attribute an icon, which is not displayed in the list of all custom icons, you will not be able to select it - you have to re-upload it.It seems, that the only the most recently uploaded icons are visible. Synchronization of all icons seems to be fine - they are in the database - existing entries show the correct custom icon, even if it is not visible any more in the selection list. Also newly added icons from the desktop version are displayed in the IOS version, when you have a look to all custom icons.

Hey @Ernst

Thanks for reporting this issue. We've been able to reproduce the issue on our system and now we are working to resolve it.

[Ernst]

Thanks for caring - I'll be waiting for the fix in one of the next releases.

Unfortunately the 6.6 version didn't solve this problem. It even worsened the situation, because also in the IOS only app. 50 icons are displayed in the selection list, even if I choose to administrate the icons. So I have no chance to get access to an older icon, which will not be displayed in this list. I have to re-upload the customer icon again (and growing the database?). 

I thought, that you will fix the issue and not to propagate this error to all platforms. Please look again into this issue and fix it really in the next release.

Hi @Ernst,

Apologies for the inconvenience.

I have noted down this issue and notified the team to look into it.

[Ernst]

Hopefully, this will be addressed in the next release - Thanks.

Dear Enpass Team,
this issue is still not solved until now and it is present on all platforms I use currently (Windows 10, MacOS Monterey, iOS 15 an iPadOS 15).
If you use a lot of custom icons, you have no possibility for maintaining them. Since my database grew to more than 12 MB, which have to be transferred with every sync, I decided to try shrinking the database by exporting all entries and re-importing them to a new database. This shrunk the database by more than 50% to app. 5.5MB.

Afterwards, I encountered the following problems:
a) only a subset of the custom icons was shown after this procedure. Some had to be re-imported for the individual entries.
b) the list of custom icons was empty - and you have no possibility to view the complete list of custom icons, which are already present in the database.
c) only the newly loaded custom icons appear in the list for selection or deleting them
d) if I add new custom icons, I'm able to delete them by right click and choosing "delete", but only a limited amount (50-60) can only be shown. If I use more than this limited number, I wasn't be able to access the non shown icons, despite they are already present in the database. If I want to reuse such a "hidden" icon, I have to load it again into the database, which results in an ever growing database.

So please give us a way to maintain the database by
a) accessing and eventually deleting  already loaded custom icons
b) shrinking the database by a maintenance function or do it automatically from time to time

This issue is pending now since Oct. 2020, when you told me, that you identified the problem and will fix it with the next release.

Hi @Ernst!

I'm using the website version 6.7.4 of Enpass in Windows 11. Actually, I have 377 custom icons in my database, and I'm able to access all of them...

Did I miss something from your post?

This would be a great feature! I searched for such a job but couldn't find one. Actually, my database is 10 MB in size. Also, I have 36 attachments, but I don't know if there are dead ones because Enpass is telling me, that I have entries with 27 attachments. There must be a job which compares all the existing entries in the db and deletes entries or attachments which are not needed anymore.

After I restored my database from a json-backup, most of the custom icons were present in the individual password entries, but not in the list for custom icons. Some icons were missing, so I had to upload them again. These newly uploaded icons are now all displayed in the list, but not the ones which were restored from the backup correctly. In the moment I didn't reach the former limit of app. 60 icons displayed (because only the new ones, which I had to upload again are displayed)
Since I administrate also the computers of my wife and my sports club, I have sometimes more than one logins to the same pages. If you want to reuse an already existing icon, but cannot access it, the only possibilities are either to upload the same icon a second time or to copy and modify an already existing entry.
Nonetheless should all loaded and restored custom icons of the database displayed properly in the list, so I can select them for a new entry or delete them, if they are not used any more.

That's right! +1 from my side for this!

Also, it would be helpful to be able to search for uploaded custom icons, e.g. by filename. Actually, you are only able to search for default icons. It is very hard to search for custom icons if you know you uploaded one and are not able to find it. Manually scrolling through all icons is very hard.
