I added 30 Picon to my mounted and mapped USB /media/usb/picon/ and all was working perfect until I decided to add 10 more so what I did is I tried to FTP the new picons across (cute FTP) and in my favorites I gave them the correct picon but that did not work.
Now what I did next was I deleted the folder in my Duo2 called picon and on the computer side of things I added the new 10 picons and then I FTP'd 40 across to /media/usb/picon in the duo two and now I only have 2 out of the 40 that are working OK on the LCD screen. The other 38 do not come up on the LCD as the picon from the channel. I have ADDED all my picons from my favorites not the main section where EXAMPLE all transponders live for a given Satellite..
Please not that in my picon folder in the duo2 fia FTP all picon's are accounted for. they all in there.
I decided to clean the USB thumb drive by formatting it/ mounting and mapping it.
Continuing the process of installing the USB
Right!! I have re-formated the USB and during the process 4 options come up
1/ EXT2 Recommended for USB Fllash memory
2/ EXT3 Recommended for hard drives
3/ EXT4 Recommended for Meo-boot
4/ Vfat Use only for Media files.

Now I would guess that option two and three you would not use but which one do you choose from Option 1 Recommended for Flash memory or option 4 Vfat use only for media files Which one would you use for your picons during the process if I remember correctly to Format.
I even looked at the possibility of having duplicate channels and the picon is attached to the one that is not in the Favorite list.
What am I doing wrong? 30 picon's were working correctly now I have only 2 working. Is there a possibly that something changed in LCD4CLunix the green button, the plugin) and maybe it allows the only two to work for a unexplained reason

ok couple things
use option 1 USB Flash memory....

secondly, you said you delete the picon on duo2, I would say that maybe thats what u where using.
 
hamish thanks for your reply
In LCD4linux I pressed BLUE, towards the bottom of the screen
PICON PATH [ok] /usr/share/enigma2/piconlcd ( I DID NOT TOUCH THIS ONE)
PICON PATH 2 [ok] /media/usb/picon (HIT GREEN TO SELECT Hit GREEN again to save and exit.


I added the below on another site as I'm starting to pull hair out of my head. I made a new folder on my desktop just to get away from my duo2 main folder

1/ I opened my old picon folder and copied all the 40 picons
2/ I made a new folder on the desktop and dumped all the 40 picons in it
3/ I deleted via FTP my picon folder found in /media/usb in the duo2
4/ I FTP'd my new picon folder found on my desktop to the duo2
5/ I checked file Permissions the Value for media is 755 for usb is 755 for picon it was 700 not 755 but I changed it to 755 save it, rebooted box and I only still have 2 picons working.
6/ I checked all 40 picons one by one and there permissions are set at 600. Do they individually have to be set at 755?.

Something is odd here Why do I have two of the 40 working (showing up in LCD) I even replaced my LCD4config file just in case if that was corrupted but its still the same.
Question could it be possible that something has changed without me knowing it during stuff around in LCD4config that effects 38 of them but not the other 2. I did have something odd happens weeks ago when for a unknown reason my LCD was disabled in LCD4config?
thanks
 
Well I finally found the problem and all is fixed now. See The service number in the main Sat list and your favorites list are the same and it must either match or change/tag the Picon file number. Well what i have now is All three have the same service number and the picon's are working properly. I must have accidentally changed an option in dreambox Edit.
