New+ Custom Icons #35806

Open yuval-ziv opened 2 weeks ago

yuval-ziv commented 2 weeks ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Pretty much self-explanatory -right now we have the opening app's icon beside the file, but sometimes a custom icon can make finding the correct file faster.

Scenario when this would be used?

I use Notepad++ to open both CSS and JSON files, but I would rather use these SVGs: Image Image

Should be toggleable between using opening program and a custom image.

Especially for (project) folder templates.

This reminds me of the VS Code Icons extension which replaces folder and file icons with more recognizable and fitting custom ones. To clarify, the ask here is to be able to specify the icon that would show up in the template list in place of the app icon?

@ethanfangg Yep, that sounds about right. Maybe have another folder with icons and match it by file name (ignoring extension).

I might try and give it a go over the weekend if I can find the time, but I haven't got much experience in C++.
