Description
Constellation provides the option to set a custom icon on a node. If the icon is not part of the default set that comes with Constellation though, it relies on the file path to retrieve the icon. This becomes a problem if you then share that graph with someone else as they then won't be able to see that icon and then they will need to set it themselves.
It would be helpful if any custom icons added are stored in the graph. That way you're able to share graphs with custom icons without then needing the receiver to manually add the icons themselves.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a new graph and add a node
- Set the icon of the node (via Attribute Editor) to some image you have
- Save the graph and email it to someone
- Get the other person to open the graph in Constellation
Expected behaviour: Other person sees the custom icon on the node
Actual behaviour: Other person sees a question mark icon on the node (same one as for unknown type nodes)
Reproduces how often: 100%

Thank you @OrionsGuardian for making this change. It is super handy. I have just been sharing a graph with custom icons and it works.
