@pgilfernandez nice! I've posted to @triplus on the issue I opened (triplus/PieMenu#7 (comment)), since it really should be his call.

from freecad-addons.

So none of triplus's addons will get a logo, per his perogative.
We're still pending on:

• DualSPHysics/DesignSPHysics#14
• edwardvmills/Silk#10
• microelly2/freecad-nurbs#7
• looooo/freecad.frametools#3

Edit: typos

Follow-up to previous post...here's a quick visual progress report:

from freecad-addons.

Note that it is no longer necessary to submit an icon for addition to the main FreeCAD repo: adding a package.xml metadata file with the path to the workbench's icon is sufficient for the Addon Manager to download and display your icon. See details at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Package_Metadata

from freecad-addons.

Great. In that case I need to change this in the documentation. I just need to remember where... 😂 🤦

Ok, starting to compile a list of docs that need changing:

@chennes is there an example of metadata file that you can link me to?

from freecad-addons.

There are two examples at the bottom of the wiki page about package metadata, or you can look at the Curves WB.

A status update: as of this writing, the following Workbenches do not have icons (in some cases the icon is present and there is simply a problem with their package.xml file so the Addon Manager can't find it)

• bimtester
• CommandPanel
• CubeMenu
• dxf-library
• Glass
• IconThemes
• kerkythea
• Launcher
• Maker Workbench
• Navigator Indicator
