Another feature would be nice when someone saves icons to offer download outside of the router for backup.

The backup and restore custom icons can be or is backed up to a USB drive attached to the router. Once saved to the USB drive you should be able to access that storage location to copy the backup somewhere else. While in the GUI, creating a compressed file and offering the user a dialog screen asking them where to save it or to upload it for importation would be a nice feature, under the current implementation the user can copy the backed up file somewhere else, just takes one or two extra steps.

"Back up & Restore" custom user icons​

You can save a backup of the custom user icons found in the "/jffs/usericons" directory, and you can later select one of the backup files to restore the icons files as needed. The command line interface allows you to change the directory path where the backup subdirectory is located, and you have option to delete backup files, or list the contents of a backup file. The default maximum number of backup files to keep is 20, but you can change this maximum setting (between min=5 to max=50) using the CLI menu.

NOTES​

1. The current implementation of the "Back up & Restore" of custom user icons does NOT export to or import from an external PC or client device connected to the router. Instead, it targets a directory available either on the router's JFFS partition or in a USB-attached disk drive. This target directory is where the subdirectory for backups is created and can be modified using the CLI menu (see note #3 below).
2. The CLI main menu option 2 for the "Back up & Restore" functionality will show up only if there is at least one custom user icon file found in the "/jffs/usericon" directory, or if at least one backup file is found in the directory path defined for backups. If none of those 2 conditions is met, the option 2 will not show up in the main menu.
3. To start using the "Back up & Restore custom user icons" feature, it's highly recommended to set the target directory where the subdirectory for backups is to be located (see option "dp" in the CLI menu). For the backups subdirectory to survive a "Factory Defaults Reset" of the router, it's highly recommended to use a directory path located on a disk drive plugged in to one of the router's USB ports. You don't have to have Entware installed on the USB-attached disk; any USB disk drive formatted with either NTFS or ext4 is sufficient to use as storage for the backup files.

The think that some of us do not have USB drives attached to the router, it would be nice, if possible, to download icons file when it is created. I do not know if it is hard or not, but it is the function of a browser in general.

Is the above functionality something that users would like to have available?

For me, if it means (what I think it means) i.e. doing away with the manual /jffs/config/dnsmasq-x.conf.add then it is a resounding YES. I would love this feature!

I know GNP does have manual assignments but as per my responses to one of the Merlin 3006.102.xx threads, I quickly hit the limit of numbers of these reservations well before the supposed 'formal' limit, So I think 3006 would also benefit greatly!
