Icon Tool Guide

icontool.py is a simple python tool which can be used to automatically add/remove icons and sort appfilter.xml links in alphabetical order.

For Mac/Linux users, you can simply type ./icontool to run the program. Otherwise, you must run python3 ./icontool.py.

Summary of usage

./icontool [-h]
           add    (a)    svg component name
           link   (l)    svg component name
           remove (r, d) component [-d]
           sort   (s)
           find   (f)    {duplicates, unused}

Adding icons

python3 icontool.py add /path/to/icon com.app.app/com.app.app.appActivity "App Name"

The .svg extension for icon.svg is optional, since the program automatically adds them.

Linking icons

python3 icontool.py link icon com.app.app/com.app.app.appActivity "App Name"

Note that icon.svg should be an SVG file located in the svgs/ directory. The .svg extension for icon.svg is optional as well.

Removing icons

Normal usage

python3 icontool.py remove com.app.app/com.app.app.appActivity

Removing components with the same package name

python3 icontool.py remove com.app.app

Removing a component and its SVG file

Simply pass the -d or --delete flag:

python3 icontool.py remove com.app.app -d

Note that the SVG file's name is based on the drawable attribute of the first <item> element.

Utilities

Some common utilities are described below.

Sorting appfilter.xml

This will sort the appfilter.xml file via the name attribute.

Finding duplicate entries in appfilter.xml

python3 ./icontool.py find duplicates

Finding unused icons

python3 ./icontool.py find unused
