Icons fail to load in Windows 10/conda environment

Bug description Hello @ccbogel and everyone. I have a working clone of QualCoder in the 2.1 version in my Windows/conda/Python 3.8.5 environment. Below in this post, I list all my OS and conda-env specifications. A few days ago I updated it to the 2.2 version but then some icons would not load. I know it’s a new feature and hasn’t been necessarily tested in all possible environments, but I thought it would be nice to share how it is performing in my specific configurations.

Steps to reproduce the bug So, in a new folder, I clone the repo specifying the 2.2 tag. Then I load QualCoder with python.

git clone https://github.com/ccbogel/QualCoder.git --branch 2.2
python .\qualcoder\qualcoder.py

Screenshots The result is this, for example:

At the powershell instance that is running QualCoder I get a few messages like these:

Environment info

• OS: Windows 10, below some specifications. –> WindowsBuildLabEx: 19041.1.amd64fre.vb_release.191206-1406 –> WindowsCurrentVersion: 6.3
• conda environment with Python 3.8.5 and some packages listed in this env.txt file

Is there anything I can do to change this? Thank in advance you for the attention.

OK I will implement this method on the other dialogs also.

@vmussa Hello. I have implemented base64. So in the Manage Files only, I have tested this new method for loading image data. Please test this with your conda implementation. If it works fine then I will roll it out across the other modules that load icons.
