Hey,

I was wondering if you could patch in the ability to easily add icons for external paths.

Currently to achieve this I add a line to your module which simply removes ":" from the filename so I can have an external link to say "http://www.google.com/analytics" with the image "http__www.google.com_analytics_.png" in my images folder.

$file_name = $image_directory . '/' . str_replace('/', '_', $working_path) . '.png';

to

$file_name = $image_directory . '/' . str_replace('/', '_', $working_path) . '.png'; 
$file_name = str_replace(':', '', $file_name);

If there is a better way to achieve this please tell me.

Thanks

I'd find that useful too. In my case, I have a link to another Drupal site that doesn't have clean urls, so the link is of the format:
http://www.othersite.com/index.php?q=pagename
Is the question mark also handled properly?

Right now I'm just overriding the control_panel_default.png, but that wouldn't work with two, and obviously isn't the right way to do it.

Great feature, and for reference, it works with subdomains. Here's an example. Took me a half hour to figure this out, silly as it may be.

http__sub.domain.com_directory.png
http://sub.domain.com/directory

I'd like to see this integrated with Control Panel if possible, otherwise I'll keep this great bit of code in it with each update. Thanks jfraser.
