Description stellarpower 2025-05-27 14:15:29 UTC
Often I assign icons to folders in my directory structure to help with navigation. Under a particular project, I will use icons on folders as a way of "starring" notable ones and helping me quickly find what elements in a complex project that I want to use frequently.

Often, the icons installed on my system aren't necessarily the best fit for a symbolic representation of that folder. I sometimes use a custom image form the filesystem, emojbut this would be laborious for a large project.

Assuming suitable fonts are installed, I think it'd be a nice touch to be able to select an emoji in lieu of a system icon/image file, as a way of drawing a particular folder. It could be represented on its own as is the case with current icon support, or on top of the current theme's default folder icon, but given there are so many to choose from nowadays, it seems like a quick way of offering users many extra options to choose from in order to find a pictorial representation of a folder.

Thanks
