	When using OTA update on ESP the whole build/link is run even if there are no changes. It would be good to have a button that allowed a re-run of just the OTA python script.

	Hi vMicro>Uploader>Upload last build You can also right click tool bars and add the vmicro menu items as buttons if you want quick access. You need to be a Pro user for the option to be enabled.

	Great, all done - but any chance of an icon as well as text for the button?

	If you can find a suitable icon that is freely distributeable with size 16x16 I can add it to the builds. Vs handles icons in a strange but efficient way. The vs docs say this but maybe doesn't work Quote: To change the image of a toolbar button Display the toolbar that contains the button with the image you want to change. On the Tools menu, click Customize. The Customize dialog box must remain open; however, you might need to move it out of your way. On the toolbar, point to the button you want to change, and then click the right mouse button. On the shortcut menu, click Button Appearance. In the Images area, click the image you want on the toolbar button.

	Hi, the vs docs procedure doesn't work as the Customize dialog is modal so there is no way to select the button I've created a basic icon (as a bitmap) that you are welcome to use.

	Thanks. vs is fussy, so the image needs to have transparent background. does it?

	I don't think bitmaps have that attribute. Here is an icon file that does have the transparent attribute for the background.
