Hi all I (perhaps lazily) have a number of TW5s in the same folder. I like them all in the same folder because it's the root of my Google Drive, and they are all equally important to my day-to-day.
I keep them in 'pinned' tabs in Firefox, and so the only distinguishing feature is the favicon -- so I'd love to not rely on the default /favicon.ico. Ton's answer seems to fit the bill perfectly. Just wanted to give my use case and say thanks :) Tom PS is there anything functionally inadvisable about keeping multiple TWs in the same folder? If so that solves my problem a different way because I'll have to move them ;) On Wednesday, 15 October 2014 19:36:33 UTC+1, Ton Gerner wrote: > > Hi Jeremy, > > Normally I do use the $:/favicon.ico mechanism.
