What issue do you have?

I've recently migrated from Linux Mint to a new, smaller laptop running Arch Linux. While I'm not a power user of Joplin, I use it every day and heavily rely on it (LOVE it!). With my smaller laptop, screen real estate is at a definite premium. In setting up a new subfolder, I noticed the option to add an emoji to the new folder, so I picked one. However, I didn't expect that ALL the folders would now display an empty folder icon, so I removed the icon from the new subfolder; however all the folders are now displaying empty folder icons. I want to restore the display to its previous state, with no icons displaying next to the folders, but don't find a way to do this. Please assist.

Have you tried restarting Joplin? I think the folder icons should disappear after doing so. Please make sure to exit the application completely (including the tray icon).

Yes, I started with a reboot before I posted. I don't have Joplin in the tray, but closed it again and checked running processes to ensure it's really closed. Upon reboot, the icons are still there.

Strange :confused:. I've just tested the icons locally, but for me, they disappear as soon as I remove the custom one.

That sounds about right...for me! Things seldom work the way they are supposed to - story of my life! :roll_eyes:

EDIT
Ha! Got it! Before posting for help, when the icons didn't go away after deleting it from the new folder, I deleted the folder & created a new one, icon free. But, that didn't solve the problem. However, once I emptied the trash, voila! All the empty folder icons disappeared in an instant!
