Please, tell me your Lunacy and OS versions
By the way, are you using Lunacy only for transferring icons to the other apps? If you do, we have an app that suits this purpose better – Pichon. You can get it here .

Got it, so your question was about Pichon originally! May I ask you for your Windows version, please, so we could figure this one out?
By the way, have you tried reinstalling Pichon? If you haven’t, please download it from here , reinstall it, and see if the issue is still there

Hey there,
May I ask you to share a screen recording of this issue, please? It would be also great if you could share your Xmind project too (you can do it via DMs).

Hey Alexey …
Thank you for replying. please have a look at the video file at this link.
hope it makes the difference…
Problem :- I am not able to use the icon within a node in mindmap.
it works fine as a separate node but not with text

Thanks for the very thorough info!
I’ve checked it and I think that I can offer you the following solution:
Save icon from Pichon locally on your PC;
Go to the ‘Insert’ tab and choose ‘Local Image’ from the dropdown;
Select the icon that you’ve saved locally on your PC.
That’s it! Here’s a tutorial video which might be helpful too: XMind Tutorial - Icons & Images
Let me know if it works.

This option i am aware about it.
If i have to use 20 icons i would need to download 20 times which would be a lengthy process.
What if its 50. Then i would have to save 50 times that too one by one. which makes the process lengthy.
so 2 options i have
Direct copy past if pichon can provide like it allows for other places or as a node
i can get zip file downloaded for images so insertion is easy
otherwise its long process save an icon image and then add…
hope you understood the pain point

You can download all the icons you need as one folder. In order to do this you need to add them to a collection first. I’ve recorded a quick tutorial on how to do it:
