Hi Gareth,
I'm not quite sure but I think you might get some clues here...

Brilliant, many thanks Sam. I could tell its was included in the new images script but was using "pix_plugins/questions/multianswer/...etc". I have been working of your tutorial Mary mentions in her post (Thanks Mary), but wonder if there are any other images that con be overriden in this manner that are also a little hard to pick up on. Judging by your posts your exceptionally busy, but could you ammend the tutorial with anything else that can be overriden by the cascading images system? Certainly the question types was a little less obvious than mods and blocks.
Many thanks Gareth
The most reliable way to work it out is to follow the logic Moodle will use.
If you get the URL of the image. For example, find the icon in the Moodle UI. Then (in Firefox) right-click and do View image properties.... it will look something like:
http://example.com/moodle/theme/image.php?theme=anomaly&image=icon&component=qtype_multianswer
I put the key bits of that into bold.
You should be able to see the general rule for turning that into the type of path that Sam gave.

Moodle docs is a wiki, so you could add this explanation to Sam's document yourself, now that you understand it.
Many thanks Tim, i could'nt ask for anything more. A clear concise explaination of how the whole image inheritance system works. Will take a look at adding it to moodle docs.
