@Finii thanks for adding file-dir icon back man :D |
cool, would be lot of work on my side tho! there are thousands of nvchad ( my nvim config ) users probably and they'd have to do the same. I guess we'd have to do it after updating our nerdfont package too |
This is not what this was intended for. Why in the world do you insist on an obsolete old fashioned icon. I could understand that you personally have a strong(er) preference, but 'the users' in general should get the updates that they want and deserve. That ugly icon is gone. Go with the times and use a current style icon. At least if you repackage. If you prepare DIFFERENT Nerd Fonts packages this will lead to maintenance hell. All the users will come here and complain why Octicons have been updated but obviously one icon has been forgotten. That is a nightmare. |

This is so utterly disappointing. Create your own set of fonts, but call them differently. Maybe Spent several hours on you problem and this is how you thank me. |
Why on earth should they want an icon that has been dropped from Octo years ago and does not fit nicely with all others 🙄 |
it looks better imo and the users are already complaining when their fav folder icon got removed! And that icon does matches with other folder related icons we use ( cod* ), it looks like a filled version of the cod-folder, thats why I like it
I wouldnt be bothered much if I was the only one using this icon, it has become a part of our UI since the beginning and made our folders unique ( similar to doom emacs filetree icons ) I really appreciate your work tho, no need to get mad! I never meant to be rude / disrespectful in our conversations. Just wanted to bring that icon back on a large scale Also the new oct-file-directory icon is too close to the text & its icon is bigger than the text itself.
old one had better padding by default & isnt bigger than the text

The old icon could only move into |
a codepoint change wouldnt do any harm as the icon's still preserved, I'd just change it here https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/blob/v2.0/lua/plugins/configs/nvimtree.lua#L51 and it'd get updated for all nvchad users |

What will happen when Microsoft updates its Codicons? |
[why] If you add a custom icon it probably has to fit with the rest of the font. So why should we patch it in completely unscaled? [how] Just scale the custom icon like all other icons at least. If someone wants to add just a symbol or two and keep the glyphs exactly (more or less) unscaled there are simpler ways than this patcher script. I believe persons that are able to pre-scale the custom font are also able to just patch it in. So this option is more for the generic patching of extra glyphs but they need to be scaled somehow.

[why] When a user want to patch some glyph in, and at that position is already a glyph, there is no way to overwrite it. The reason is that --custom glyphs are always patched in --careful, and there is no --not-careful option to override that. [how] Add glyphs via --custom always, except --careful has also been given.

…ath [skip ci] [why] While the commit 7cda326 font-patcher: Allow to specify custom symbolfont with absolute path would have allowed to specify the custom glyph font with an absolute path, it is in fact still not possible. [how] The file-exists checks also need to observe the absolute path. [note] Normally (with a relative path) the custom font is search for in the ordinary glyphs directory - but that would mean people need to copy it there.

we use those folders only at few places and they're rarely visible, so not much of big deal. but that file-directory icon was our main one, we used it at the statusline etc too |
|
Found other bugs while moving the icon to I fear it (the folder icon) will be patched a bit more to the right, because the custom icons are all centered (on something) while the octicons were left aligned. Need to check how much. |
|
Hmm, it is still left aligned but a bit smaller 🤔
|
didnt know! I thought only the fonts that end with "Mono" are centered 🤔 |
oops looks a bit smaller 😨 |

Description
This changes how custom patching (i.e. with
--custom) is handled.When I tried to use the feature myself several shortcomings became obvious.
