@tibimac I have thought about that. The trouble is that .car's often contain a ton of UI assets other than icons. I guess *maybe* if you went to import a .car, it could present you with what's in them so you could select what to install. No idea if it is possible, but i'll have to dig into it!

OK so iCandy got approved for TestFlight soKnown issues
---
One (relatively) significant issue I’ve come across is a crash when deleting an icon (or icons) from an iCloud (CloudKit) Library. Force quitting and relaunching works fine, but the icon(s) you tried deleting will still be there.
One other is when importing .icontainers, it’s very 50/50 whether the icon names will get imported correctly. -
