Questions RE commentIcon

Couple of questions about commentIcon:

• Why is it private whereas other icons on the block are public, eg: warning, mutator, etc.
• Why was it changed from comment to commentIcon_?

I didn’t know where to post this. @BeksOmega

Thanks again @BeksOmega

Ah ok that makes sense! I would agree that an icon registry is probably the best option. If you have to override getIcons to add your icon, and then another plugin has to override getIcons to add /its/ icon. Well you could only have one plugin-icon at a time, and that would suck.

Yeah exactly, not ideal for sure.

Can you do this with a block extension that adds an image field at the beginning of the block, regardless of the rest of the contents?

In that case you still wouldn’t be able to have your field render before other icons like the comment icon, etc. (Course without some significant muddling with blockly internals)
