Update file icons #830

Closed ThatXliner closed 3 years ago

ThatXliner commented 3 years ago

I noticed that the file-icons/icons repository is getting more updated while this repo (and the file-icons/vs-code repo) isn't receiving the updates/added icons. I think the icons folder should be a git submodule to the file-icons/icons icons folder. That way, we can get updated icons every time via git update submodules or something like that.

And if the icons aren't going to be releasing frequently, can you post a release schedule?

It's not that simple. For a start, I'm not sure Atom's package manager even supports submodules (and I'd rather not publish a dummy release somewhere with the express intention of finding out).

Secondly, the icon-font needs to be regenerated manually, which I do prior to cutting a release.

Finally, each time the font is regenerated, it's another ~196 KBs added to the icon-repository's object store. Hence why releases aren't cut periodically, but on the basis of how many additions there are (either to the font or to the package's list of filetypes).

What about a release schedule?

Alhadis commented 3 years ago

There's no fixed schedule, but usually a new release happens every 1.5-2 months.

There you go, please enjoy. 👍
