Make icon file permanent

[RAFA3L]

Hello, I'm using the module with the paragraph module and for a few days I notice that the icon file disappears suddenly, then I can see that the file disappears from the database too because was saved with status = 0.

I fix it using this code

`
/**

• Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
  */
  function view_mode_selector_form_field_ui_field_edit_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form['#field']['type'] == 'view_mode_selector') {
  array_unshift($form['#submit'], 'view_mode_selector_settings_form_submit'); // <---- added
  // Don't allow more than one value for a view mode selector field.
  $form['field']['cardinality']['#access'] = FALSE;
  $form['field']['cardinality']['#value'] = 1;
  }
  }
  `

and

`
/**

• Custom form submit handler
  */
  function view_mode_selector_settings_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  foreach ($form_state['values']['instance']['settings']['view_modes'] as $view_mode => $element) {
  if (!empty($element['icon'])) {
  $icon = file_load($element['icon']);
  if ($icon) {
  // make image file permanent
  $icon->status = FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT;
  file_save($icon);
  }
  }
  }
  }
  `
