Organizing Icons

Over the years I have gained a pretty large icon directory. The problem is that I want to change the names of some of them and also see what each one looks like in Calibre. There is no real way to show how an icon looks in the library without actually assigning a rule to it.

Is there some possible way to see the icons in Calibre BEFORE applying them in the rules? ALso, if there are a lot of icons for rules (I have dedicated columns specifically to hold icons so I can easily see a lot of things in my library without having to hunt around for it).

My goal is to weed out duplicate icons, rename them all so I can tell what they are when looking at rules and standaradize the rules/icons in each library. Also, would be nice to know if I have conflicting or duplicate rules since I can't read the exports, I have to manually go in and check them out.

I want to start fresh, but there are too many rules set to do that.

Suggestions?

Examine the "column_icon_rules" section in the metadata_db_prefs_backup.json file in the library folder, alongside the cc_icons folder on your configuration directory.

Thanks! I will do that, I can use ChatAI to help me fix it.

Update:

My preferences look nothing like that, I think I ran into this in the past when I wanted to do a quick search/replace when I changed column names.
