Thanx & regards

Great Question, i noticed it today to. the icon looks a little bit like the pfsense icon,
but i looked through github and found no explanation how it comes into the SPIFF.
Download? ASCII->bin? i a very interested in an explanation ...

Code: Select all

#if FEATURE_SPIFFS
  f = SPIFFS.open("esp.png", "r");
  if (f)
  {
    str += F("<img src=\"esp.png\" width=50 height=50 align=right >");
    f.close();
  }
#endif

besides that, we are talking about this, arent we?:

somehow fascinating. i am too blind to see.
cannot find anything more than the before mentioned in github.

where does the icon come from? Mars?
i must question the internet:

The esp.png is just a remnant from the abandoned SPIFFS experiment, so better ignore it.
This piece of code is disabled for compilation anyway.

ok, thanks. but i spent today again a certain amount of time into the search for the source of this icon.
while on a car-drive, i thought it came from the ESP core.
but there i also found nothing.

but it is visible in the tab, so it has to come to the SPIFFS somehow.
so question still remains: Why/how comes the favicon to live on a brandnew flashed chip with ESPeasy? should it stay a micracle?

new observation: favicon only on the page with MAIN...
i will dig again..

very cool...

Create a directory named data and any files you want in the file system there

Uploading files to file system

ESP8266FS is a tool which integrates into the Arduino IDE.
It adds a menu item to Tools menu for uploading the contents of sketch data directory into ESP8266 flash file system.

Download the tool: https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8 ... -0.2.0.zip.
In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet
Unpack the tool into tools directory (the path will look like <home_dir>/Arduino/tools/ESP8266FS/tool/esp8266fs.jar)
Restart Arduino IDE
****************
Open a sketch (or create a new one and save it)
Go to sketch directory (choose Sketch > Show Sketch Folder)
Create a directory named data and any files you want in the file system there
Make sure you have selected a board, port, and closed Serial Monitor
Select Tools > ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload. This should start uploading the files into ESP8266 flash file system.
When done, IDE status bar will display SPIFFS Image Uploaded message.

in R078 the favicon on the "MAIN" page went away.
silently...
