Explore the possibility of referencing the various Glyph-related fonts and generating a Bitmap to use as the thumbnail. It may reduce the need for including all of the available Glyphs as resources within the extension and may help to "future-proof" it as well.

Add support for the IcoMoon family of glyphs and fonts.

It appears that the existing Glyphicons Provider is being overridden by the built-in Bootstrap glyphs included in Visual Studio.

At present, Glyphfriend uses a static dictionary to manage various glyphs so that they can be easily accessed within the GetCompletionGlyph() event found in each of the GlyphCompletionProvider implementations :

if (_regex.IsMatch(filename))
{
                if (GlyphfriendPackage.Glyphs.ContainsKey(entryName))
                {
                    return GlyphfriendPackage.Glyphs[entryName];
                }
                return GlyphfriendPackage.Glyphs["icon-default"];
}

This works just fine, however if multiple libraries use the same prefix (such as the Entypo library and IcoMoon, which use icon-), then a call becomes ambiguous and may serve the incorrect glyph (or it will attempt to add the same key to the dictionary and blow up).

This would come handy for blog systems relying on Markdown for content generation.

I would like to work on it. But I have my exams right now, so maybe a month later.
PS: I actually wanted to get some idea about how the extension works so that I can get up to speed quicker.

Since the Material Design library supports community contributions, it is constantly being updated with the additions of new glyphs. Since it's been a month or so since the previous release, I thought it would be worth checking for any recent changes.

Add support for the Font Awesome family of glyphs and fonts.

As it stands, Visual Studio "15" will not currently support Glyphfriend, primarily due to some API changes and the lack of Web Tooling support.

A version-specific release is planned when the appropriate tooling is available, but attempting to use the current version of Glyphfriend could cause crashes when being installed on "15".

When using multiple Glyph Providers, it appears that only one will take precedence over the others (e.g. Font Awesome will properly display its glyphs, but all of the Ionic entries will appear using the default glyph).

Update the existing Octicons library to the latest available version (3.3.0) and include support for all of the recently added / updated glyphs.

Update the Octicons library to the latest 4.3.0 release.

Hi,

great stuff, I am looking for that kind of tool for XAML.
Is it supported?

Cheers,
F.

The following glyphs are missing from the Foundation Intellisense :

• burst-new
• filter
• first-aid

After initial release, make the necessary changes to target older versions of Visual Studio (or at least 2013).

Look into adding in additional Glyph-based libraries based on popularity / demand.

When the extension is installed in Visual Studio, the entry in the "Extensions and updates" dialog should have a link to more information, like the VS Extension Gallery page. This is probably just a missing entry in the metadata file.

Update the Material Design library to the latest 1.7.22 release.

I am using latest update of VS 2015, have installed this plug-in however I am using plain old html files and I can't seem to get and Intellisense other that what is defined/used in the current document.

I am taking a guess that this is not how this plugin functions, but could you please clarify, and let me know if there is another was to make it possible.

Update the existing Font Awesome library to the latest version (4.6.2) and include the following new icons :

I happen to combine FontAwesome and Bootstrap into one css file. It would be nice if there was a way to specify name of css file and font toolkit.

Update the Octicons library to the latest 3.5.0 release.

Add support for the MetroUI framework and associated glyphs.

Add support for the Glyphicons family of glyphs and fonts.

Add support for the Ionicon family of glyphs and fonts.

Add support for the latest version Entypo icon set and all of its available glyphs with an implementation similar to the one found within some of the available Bootstrap themes from Twitter (e.g. icon icon-{glyph}).

I installed this extension but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you happen to know if there is a compatibility issue having ReSharper installed?

Is there an option somewhere that supports VStudio's dark theme mode? My icons end up looking like this and it's pretty hard to read. Using the R# version, BTW. Nice extension.

Add support for the latest version of the Material Design icon set per @svkekl's request in Issue #25.

Since performance is an extremely important feature for extensions to consider within Visual Studio 2017, investigate several approaches to improve load times and use-cases.

A current consideration would be to use a library like Protobuf to binary serialize all of the glyphs within the library at build-time, and import this binary package into the extension, where it would be deserialized as needed, which should be much faster than the current traverse-glyph-directories-and-build-dictionary approach.

Since pathing for the IcoMoon styles are extremely "generic" (e.g. the CSS file is named style.css). The path itself and not the file name will need to be matched via a regular expression.

Add support for the Octoicons library.

Add support for Glyph libraries that are referenced via CDN as opposed to the current mechanism, which simply traverses the current project for matching file names (via a Regex); This may also help scenarios for single files such as a File > New HTML File experience.

Currently the MetroUI glyphs do not have a default icon to be served when no others are available. After support is added for the library (Issue #48) ensure that a default icon is chosen.

Lossless optimization that will shave 52 kilobytes of the vsix.

Check for missing glyphs within the IcoMoon Intellisense using the default stylesheet.

Add support for Glyphfriend to search non-project solutions (i.e. web sites, etc.), which appears to not work as expected, even when a solution contains just an .html file along with a supported .css file (such as bootstrap.css). See Issue #66.

Hi,

I'm using this theme from bootstrap which uses Entypo.

https://bootstrap-themes.github.io/marketing/docs/index.html#entypo

Because now Entypo doesn't come with a font and css, I don't know how to make Glyphfriend recognize the library.

Please suggest.

Thank you,
Minh

Currently, there are quite a few glyphs missing after initially testing the Material Design library (Issue #29):

• account-star
• account-star-variant
• arrow-bottom-drop-circle
• biohazard
• briefcase-check
• calendar-multiple-check
• case-sensitive-alt
• close-box
• close-box-outline
• comment-multiple-outline
• email-outline
• facebook-messenger
• firefox
• format-wrap-inline
• format-wrap-square
• format-wrap-tight
• format-wrap-top-bottom
• github-circle
• google-circles-group
• guitar
• guitar-pick
• guitar-pick-outline
• headphones-settings
• houzz
• image-multiple
• lock-open
• lock-open-outline
• math-compass
• motorbike
• nutrition
• phone-settings
• regex
• rss
• selection
• settings
• settings-box
• target
• ticket
• toggle-switch
• trophy
• trophy-award
• trophy-variant
• vibrate
• view-grid

Glyphs will need to be found and implemented for all of these prior to release to match the intended version (1.4.57)

I installed the Glyphfriend in Visual Studio 2015. The intellisense does not work on an .aspx page but it works fine on an .html page. Is there something else I need to get this to work on an .aspx page?

Glyphfriend 1.5.80 for VS2015 doesn't install, because license.txt is missing. The installer log says:

Add support for the Foundation family of glyphs and fonts.

Just create a new website on local driver and install bootstrap 3.x via nuget, but I get icons shown in intellisense window totally, just showing blank icon.

See image:

I've tested many versions, found version 1.5.0 works, but since 1.5.1.1 this problem comes out, I think this may be due to new the async load method.

Hi, thank you for great extension.
What about adding support of nice Material Design Icons Set?
https://materialdesignicons.com/

Update the existing Font Awesome library to the latest version and include the following missing glyphs :

There is currently quite a bit of redundant code when working with multiple providers. Consider refactoring to use a BaseGlyphProvider that would implement the GetCompletionGlyph() method which is essentially the same for all of the library-specific providers.

Dear Rion,

First, thank you so much for a great tool!

As an idea/suggestion - would you think it could make sense to add support for office ribbon icons (so called "imageMso" images) to help people who design office extensions using XML. This has been an issue for a while already, and these are really hard to find. Check out this tool for example:

https://imagemso.codeplex.com/
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd953682.aspx
http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2007/05/05/identifying-your-imagemso-excel-word-powerpoint/

It shows the images, but it would be great if autocomplete can be done. I could assist with incorporating these images. Please note, in case there are A LOT of them (more than 8.000) so keeping them as they are now (as file set in a folder) seem to be problematic in this case. I have tried to implement that in my fork, please check the screenshot of what i'm talking about:

Anyways, your thoughts are most welcome. Do you think such a feature worth adding, or it could be better to go for a separate project for such thing?

Kind regards,
Nikolay.
