Adding SVG graphic files to FM in Windows 10

As we all know, FM's collection of SVG files available for button icons is rather limited. Having found others outside that set that match my needs, I've hit a roadblock for how to add them in.  There is no import function, at least none that I can find. Nor can I simply copy and paste the files to the correct folder, which is located under the Windows Programs subfolder which prohibits manual file editing or pasting.

Does anyone have a workaround?

Thanks.

It sounds like you are trying to add custom icons to the FMP application. I don't know if that's possible and I would be reluctant to try and hack the application file.

The "official" way to use custom icons is to add them to a solution file. When you format a button or a button bar, click the + button underneath the icons gallery. Then select the icon file to insert. Once you have done that, the inserted icon will become available to all buttons/button bars in the current file.

Keep in mind that the custom icon must conform to Filemaker's requirements:
