Submission GuidelinesWhen a plugin is created, it can be labelled with any tool category, existent or non-existent. If the category does not exist, Designer will create it and give it a default icon. It would be nice if a category icon could also be specified, specifically for this case.
Specifying a tool category icon
Developers would have a way to (optionally) specify the tool category icon for their plugin. This would likely be part of `ayx_workspace.json`.
{
"name": "My Plugin",
"tool_category": "Custom Category",
"tool_category_icon_path": "configuration\\tool_category_icon.png",
"package_icon_path": "configuration\\package_icon.png",
...
}
Behavior when installing a plugin
If a plugin has a tool category icon specified, Designer should do the following when installing the plugin:
This prevents changing the icons of existing categories (including built-in categories), but would prevent subsequent plugin versions from updating their tool category icons.
Use case
The company Acme Corporation develops a plugin for interfacing with Acme-related products, and would like all its tools to be grouped in a new category called "Acme" whose icon is the Acme icon.
