I've been working with .ts and .tsx files as part of a next.js development. Both of these filetypes have syntax support, but MacVim doesn't come bundled with icons for these filetypes. I was able to generate some on my own and, with a few hacks on the command line, get my own macvim installation to show them in finder, and get finder to use macvim to open them.
I thought about trying to add these icons here to the repo, but wanted to check with the dev team first on a few things:
- Is there an established template for these icon files? I just photoshopped these together quickly (matching the font/colors/etc. of existing filetype icons), but if there's a source file I could simply edit and export to the same format you already use, I'd rather do that, and generate assets that match what you already are using
- The
CONTRIBUTING.md file here looks like it comes from vim directly, but regardless, there's a note in there about "not causing trouble with trademarks" -- I think these files are above board (i.e., they don't use any microsoft design language, just plain TS and TSX text), but want to make sure this is OK
I also know it takes more than just creating some images to get this to work -- namely some changes in the main Info.plist for the app to handle the associations properly -- but will hold on any of that until I get a nod here one way or another.
Finally, .ts is also apparently an extension tied to a standard MPEG video format, and if you have an app like VLC installed, it wants to claim the association instead. Just a possible collision that could result if we wanted the app to try to associate itself with that filetype.
