[Request] Specific folder icons

[JimiC]

We are keeping here a list of requested folder icons.

We are going to update this list as we go along adding icons.

Before requesting a folder icon make sure to check out the already supported folder list.

Any new requests SHOULD be submitted via comments on this issue and we'll update the list accordingly.

• enum
• environments
• favicons
• json
• polyfills
• resources
• serializers
• shared, common, core
• queries

Debatable

Debatable are folder names that are debatable on whether we should provide a specific icon.

• vendor
• flux, store
• state
• react
• vue
• partials
• misc
• schemas
• validations
• static
• memcached

[robertohuertasm]

bin, lib, packages, plugins could also be candidates.

[JimiC]

@robertohuertasm Added to the list.

[g5codyswartz]

typescript ^^

[AmrEldib]

data and config could be included

[kristianmandrup]

stylus with .styl extension, already included in manifest just needs an extension ['styl'] to be added.

[JimiC]

@kristianmandrup Folders manifest is here.

[kristianmandrup]

Oh, turns out that using language-stylus extension adds an icon by itself. Just needed a reload after install. Not sure about "icon conflict resolution" strategy in this case?

[JimiC]

What do you mean by "icon conflict resolution" strategy?

[kristianmandrup]

I mean if two or more VS code extensions each try to define their own icon for a particular file extension.

[JimiC]

Extensions don't define icons, we do. We just rely on the extension language id to enable the icon for the filenames and extensions they support.

[kristianmandrup]

Gotcha! Anyways, it works. Thanks.

I wan't to give a docker folder have a docker icon (which is a file icon), so I do:

"vsicons.associations.folders": [
  { "icon": "docker", "extensions": ["docker"], "format": "svg" }
]

But it doesn't work (after apply - folder has no icon at all). What should add to get a scpecific file icon on the folder name? Assigning fodler icons to folder work for me, but not file icons.

[robertohuertasm]

The thing is that you can only assign file icons to files and folder icons to folders. You cannot use file icons for folders.

In order to achieve what you want you should have to provide your own custom folder icon. Take a look at the readme to learn the specifics.

[JimiC]

I have added docker to the list.
Have you provided an icon in the vsicons-custom-icons folder?

[wclr]

The thing is that you can only assign file icons to files and folder icons to folders. You cannot use file icons for folders.

Woldn't it be useful to add this ability out of the box? Maybe you wan't to make some folder with angular project have angular Icon, etc.

[JimiC]

@whitecolor I have already thought of that but this will require that the extension will have to have SVG creation capabilities. It's nice to have but out of the current scope.

[wclr]

It's nice to have but out of the current scope.

Ok, I hope this will be made eventually. I just think there should one list of icons, and a user could assign any to folders or files.

[Absolucy]

Support for folders named benches/benchmarks?

From: #2588

[latipun7]

Please support folder named "__snapshots__" / "snapshots" and "__fixtures__" / "fixtures".

Both of them are used by testing convenience. Especially __snapshots__ are auto generated by Jest

[Kleywalker]

Maybe a quick fix: There already is an icon for folder_type_client. Like other icons (assets, libraries, services, tools, ...) this should be associated to its plural clients as well. Thanks for the great extension! 😊

[shaman-apprentice]

I like to call my "helper" folder utilities. Would it be reasonable to reuse tools icon of util and utils for utilities as well?

[robertohuertasm]

@shaman-apprentice, it probably would. I guess you already know you can leverage our customization feature to get that icon for your utilities folder right away.

[cbdeveloper]

Any news on the Google Cloud [gcp] icon? I haven't found it.

Would be nice to have it associated with cloudbuild.yaml and .gcloudignore

[GuilhermeDemoliner]

can add "stores" for flutter mobx, and "ui"

[daaa57150]

I'm missing 'screens' (already asked in the thread) and 'constants' (plural or not, also 'const' could make sense).

[johnjbateman]

helm folder icon please. I see kubernetes exists.

Icon from their hompage: https://helm.sh/img/helm.svg

[mkvlrn]

If state is debatable but there is an folder icon for redux, perhaps we should have an icon for recoil, then?

Recoil is gaining traction on the (react) state manager wasteland, and it has a cool logo now, that would be perfect for a dedicated folder.

[ddanielcruz]

It would be nice to have folders errors/exceptions and core/shared.

[paragkatoch]

please add an icon for the container folder

[latipun7]

please add folder for yarn berry (yarn v2).

The folder is .yarn

#2685 should be folder icon, not file icon.

[lukasfri]

Please add some icons for the texture(s) & system(s) folders. Thanks in advance. :)

[Caradog-alt]

Please add 'apache' and 'ansible' folder icons.

Really enjoy the extension, thank you.

[SonNg2k]

Please add an extra word "repos" to the list of supported folder icons for db. Thank u!

[Jomy10]

I always use res instead of assets. Would love to see it added.

[affeldt28]

Please add entity to the folder name list, for model icon.
It was already suggested here #650 (comment).
But only entities was added.

[baidwwy]

Please add lua

[RenatoDinis]

ibm folder. I suggest a trash can

[amancevice]

I'd love to see an icon for the .terraform folder

[zeekbrown]

What about a powershell folder for scripts?

powershell or pwsh

[itsmelepassos]

Could you think about icons for folders like Apache and Virtual Hosts?

[trekitch]

Imgs should be added for images folders

[robertohuertasm]

Locking this issue as it is hard to keep track of what's been implemented or what not. From now own, if you want to ask for support for a specific folder, please create a new issue.
