Adding custom icons to library about qtawesome HOT 3 CLOSED

@Dariusz1989 Could you provide some pseudo code/sample how you would like to invoke/use such a feature?

Hey
Yea I was just thinking about it. It seems like we may need second app? Or a python app... Could be python/pyside2.
But I suppose we need to give it path to a resource file & write in to it QPixmap/QIcon/QImage in to "that magical format" and then create tags/strings/etc .h/.cpp etc like the ones we have from Awesome library.

In general

1. Open app
2. Specify resource file
3. Read icons in it
4. remove/rename entries
5. add entry
   a. Specify either img path
   b. Specify QPixmap/QImage/QIcon if we are dynamically generating something via painter/etc
   c. Configurew tags/etc
6. Save rsc/ generate .h/.cpp/etc/etc

I'm using cmake that dynamically adds files to project, so we could probably do somethign similar so we can add multiple resourece/h/cpp and then probably create .h init for doing Q_RESOURCE_INIT stuff to generate them dynamically... ?

I could help doing the gui/writer/loading system, But I would need help with serializing/deserializing the input data in to that black bock rsc thini I tried understanding and gave up :- )

@Dariusz1989 Thanks for your input. Re-reading your suggestion multiple times, I don't see how this can be put into this project.
The 'magic format' is a Font file that contains (vector) icons. (QtAwesome just uses an existing font-file). It cannot convert pixmaps or other other graphics into a font file.

The 'magic' is nothing else then settings the correct font and the foreground/background colors. And drawing a certain glyph from this font.
The generator (written in Ruby), takes the meta-information from the FontAwesome project to generate the correct names for the glyphs into the c++ source/header files.

(* Adding other Font-icon files should be possible, but that's another wish already placed in the issue tracker.)
