ANN: SVGIconViewer

[Steven Kamradt 20]

Lately I have found myself spending way to much time locating and converting my various toolbars and buttons to use SVG images.  Part of that time was searching multiple archives only to find the same list of icons, however in different weights and sizes.  The Microsoft Fluent UI icon repository is difficult to easily navigate and requires multiple steps to grab an icon... there had to be an easier way.  So I wrote one that not only allows one to save SVG files, but also PNG files with an  included -x size added to make it super easy when adding to an existing image collection (if you, like me, have projects that are still not quite in the latest version of Delphi).  The project requires Delphi 12 (or minimally Delphi 10.4 with Skia4Delphi added) to recompile, I have included a compiled executable as a release asset if you do not have the required Delphi version.  There are currently 27,400 individual SVG icons, additionally those that have both a filled and outline version have the option to also generate a "TwoTone" icon. You have complete control over colors and export sizes.

Currently included Icon libraries:  Microsoft Fluent UI, Tablar-Icons 

 

If you find this project useful, I would appreciate a star.  If it saves you time and effort, feel free to buy me a coffee (or several, code signing is so expensive lately).  🙂

Good idea.

 

You can perhaps add a TImageCollection export with an icons selection list or the source code to use the SVG directly in a unit ? It could be a good alternative to use vector images in final projects.

When I try to run the pre-built executable linked from Github, on Windows 11, I get either a runtime error 217 or a crashdump, depending on the current directory of the exe.

Did you unzip the exe AND the dll into the same directory?  Which directory did you install it?

Thank you for the suggestion.   I'll consider it.  (assigned as issue #1)

Great, I'll check it and add your repo to the list I've done around this presentation.
