Thanks Chris! You got to this before I had a chance to respond. We need to calm down and move forward with the stable 5 release. Getting hung up on icon details isn't going to get us anywhere. I should have pushed all of the off until v6. Lesson learned. Now that it's merged, I will only acce

I think you are all correct. During my revamp of the icons I tried to achieve two things: 1. Differentiate between import and export based on arrow direction (generally import arrows are right to left, and export are left to right) 2. Place import icons on the left, and export on the right (follow
