Personally I don't like assigning icons for specific folders (e.g. types
, resources
, images
, assets
) because they can be inaccurate, appear in all types of projects, and will be annoying. Sometimes my resources
folder is just resource-related code, not resource files. Also types
folder is only valid for some specific projects (e.g. TypeScript).
For reference, JetBrains IDEs never simply assign icons by folder names. I think this is something that needs serious consideration. :D
Also, unlike file extensions, .ts must (probably) be a TypeScript file, and .png must be an image file, but there's nothing that says that files in the resources folder must be resource files.
So I think what a folder is used for depends on the user's own intent, so it requires the user to specify a folder to be used for a specific purpose themselves, rather than simply assigning icons based on the filename. Like "Mark Directory As" in JetBrains' IDE:
Maybe two solutions can be made, one is to not distinguish folders with special meanings, and the other is to distinguish. Because different people have different understandings of special folders
Closing this issue for now to keep the icon set simple. Definitely open to suggestions though.
e.g for folders named "resources"
We could use icon
This feature should be toggleable.
