Dear all,
We have about 4200 icons/images in the repository. most probably many of
them are duplicates, triplicates, multiplicates copied to different
locations.
Just in a recent PR, Eirik added 34 new svg icons to 192 places.
(https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2387)
We have 28 instances of wait.gif (and 4 wait.png).
I think before jumping into the svg era, we need to stop, look around
and think. Could we do better?
I think, yes, there is a demand for a common icon catalog. Or more icon
catalogs (per cluster?)
I've done a very raw sketch to get the base of a discussion. It is a raw
Idea I have in my mind: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2388
My two main goals:
- Move reusable icons to a centralized place catalog. I'd imagine
these catalogs as public java Enums
- Provide backward compatibility based on icon resource names
Feedbacks/requirements/insights are welcome!
BTW, I'm completely Ok if we do not do anything about this. I just
wanted to draw some attention on this issue.
