Splendid! Although I agree with Kristoffer that the new bitmap2component icon isn’t much help. Import/Export is the one area where we’ve kept the arrows (which I think is fine). Given that, the pixelated “a” with an import arrow would be perfect.
FWIW, this is one area where I disagree with Nick. I did user interface design and software architecture for Adobe for 25 years and in my professional opinion, these icons are a HUGE improvement.
