Icons on Image Template

Hi, I was using the Image Template tool and I noticed that the icons for import and export are switched.

Great catch @gabrielvilella

I think the icons used are more relevant for Download and Upload, which would then make sense from the icons' point of view. Using horizontal arrow icons (examples below, or anything else really) for import/export might help avoid confusion?

Hi @petrl, I believe that regardless of image orientation, the export should be represented with the arrow going out and the import with the arrow going in.

Thanks, @gabrielvilella, you're right - What I was trying to say is that the current icons might resemble uploading/downloading files (the "box" part of the icon being a local hard drive, not the Designer), and switching the icons while making it clearer for you (and probably a majority of other people too), it may get confusing for others viewing it as upload/download. Hence the proposal of horizontal arrowed icons, which hopefully won't cause this confusion. But totally agreed that solely switching the icons one for another would make sense to most of us :)

Hi All. Thanks for the idea. The icons have been switched as of Intelligence Suite 2022.3.
