Hello! The Problem When a user uploads a file to Anytype, an object is created. If a user has previously uploaded a file to Anytype, and would like to use the same file/object as a cover or icon, they (currently) must reupload the file. If the user has deleted the original file from their device,…

Related [image] Icon as a reusable type Any Requests? Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In a set a popup appears so you can an emoji as an icon, this feature is not available for ordinary objects. Reusing an icon requires you to reupload them.…

[image] Flip: Related Icon as a reusable type Thank you! :grin: This request is a bit different though: rather than having a new Icon type created, I’d prefer for all image objects to be visible — this way, GIFs can be selected as well.

Exactly, I agree with you. We should be able to chose any existing image that is already uploaded in Anytype.

I was thinking the same and added this last week =) I think this would be available in 0.28.0

Any existing image is not very useful as there are a lot of small images created automatically, so now it suggests only images >= 1000px width and after playing around it works pretty well from my point of view.

Is this filter or limitation somewhere mentioned? Otherwise I know for sure that is going to be submitted as a bug :wink: I do like the feature because I don’t like pixellated covers

Does the minimum 1000px rule, also apply to Icons? Most Icons that are uploaded (from my experience, at least :sweat_smile:) are seldom that large.

I guess icons are also rarely used as cover images? :wink:

In the request by @sahilstudio it’s also about setting custom images as icons

I’ll add this tab to icons as well

Ability to select object as cover/icon
