Ability to use existing deviations for icons

Just a thought, but I think it would be nice if we could use deviations in our folder as Icons like we can for the images we import. Before you say "Well if you posted it it's saved on your computer anyway so why can't you just import that?" Well not everybody is bound to keep their work forever, and so what if you wanted to take a snippet from an older work you deleted off your computer to make room for more art? Well the deviation is there, so why not be able to just pick a deviation and take a part for your Icon?
Think of it like this... you can use deviations to pick your ID, so why not also be able to do so to pick your Icon as well?
It sure is better than having to save it on to your computer and then import it like I have to do because I'm using Muro. It's not really needed, but I think it is just a bit more conveint

I think you can do that with your devID when you first sign up to the website

Really? But I already did that and had to pick the blue smiley face thing because I had no drawings or pictures

If you didn't upload a devID, then there wouldn't have been anything for the site to suggest a thumbnail from
