Adding icons // Ordering by language

jamescridland · 02-23-2020, 03:31 AM

Two questions...

First: the icon used for each recipe. I'd like to help by adding more to already existing recipes. It looks like the optimum size is a 32x32 PNG (optimised), named the same name as the recipe, and placed in Github as /calibre/blob/master/recipes/icons/ - is that correct, or is there anything further to do? (It displays as 16x16 on my screen, but my suspicion is that a high-DPI version would be helpful for high density screens)

Second: the "English" section is a bit inconsistent. Is the idea that "English (UK)" contains English publications from the United Kingdom? Is this governed by the language attribute in the recipe? Would it be helpful to categorise all these publications into en_CA, en_US, en_GB etc? (I run a media directory, so have subject knowledge here)

Thanks in advance.

yes, that's correct. 32x32 is fine. And yes the categorization comes from the language field in the recipe.

That's great to hear, thank you. I'll do some nice icons (you may have noticed I've committed two 16x16, but will do 32x32 from hereon in); and slowly categorise the recipes.
