[BUG] - The custom gutter icons stopped showing

[lastmartianlaboratory]

Environment/version

• Extension version: 13.0.3
• VSCode version: 1.54.1 and up
• OS version: macOS Big Sur, WIndows 10

Steps to reproduce

1. Set bookmarks.gutterIconPath to a valid image path

Default bookmark icon shows Ok.

Hi @lastmartianlaboratory ,

It seems the latest VS Code release now blocks loading resources from locations other than "VS Code controlled" ones. More info here microsoft/vscode#118623.

I'm not a fan of copying the new icon to some controlled location, but it seems to be the only solution right now.

Hope this helps

Thank you! That did the trick 👍

And if that's how VSCode handles resources now the bookmarks.gutterIconPath should probably have some sort of a note or removed altogether.

[alefragnani]

Yep, I'll take a look on alternatives.

I'm closing this issue in favor of #445, where you will be able to customize the Bookmark's icon appearance (fill and border colors), but not the icon itself.

I can leave the current gutterIconPath setting there, noted as deprecated, if you still use it. Otherwise you could simply move to the new settings when available.

Thank you for your understanding
