Hi,

On a more general viewpoint, what users stated was that it would be
really
great to have some kind of a centralized icon and style repository, with
automatic search and retrieval from inside QGis, a bit like what KDE
does
with KDE Hot New Stuff ( http://newstuff.kde.org/repos.php ).
Are there any current plans on implementing this kind of feature ?

There is a movement within the OSGeo community to centralize all the
freely available icons. It's been a little slow to get started but see
the Graphics mailing list
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/graphics
These things tend to not take a ton of space so it's fairly likely that
they would just be included in QGIS, no need to retrieve them from the
web. That said I agree that some way to catalog (keyword) and search for
icons could be quite useful, the big problem is where to stick that
metadata within the svg files.
Thanks,
Alex
Hi Vincent and Alex,
You are absolutely right. It's already time to prepare map icons for
QGIS and other applications.
Upcoming hackfest in Wroclaw will be god time to discuss (complete? ;))
this task.
Please send your proposals and ideas to this ML or OSGeo graphics ML.
Just use word 'icon' in mail theme.
regards,
Robert
Hi Robert,
A few months ago, I started dispatching your icon set into individual
svg files to get it like the default qgis set and to ease the work on it
as separate packages means the possibility to follow the evolution of
one icon in a svn repo.
Unfortunatly I've not been able to achieve this port due to lack of time
and some difficulty to browse the source file. I can upload what I've
done somewhere if interested.
I planned to do some work on your icon set to bring more contrast (it is
difficult for some to distinguish between active and unactive).
About the map icon sets, having them is one thing but for now it would
be too painful to browse in the composer item tab without a filtering
tool (the folder search doesn't fill this gap).
Regards,
Jean Roc
