Allows the use of .svg files by single upload as custom icons by rendering via CSS.

@kronkratra-vault See the roadmap for details! This particular feature is planned for much, much later.

@Riffaells thanks for the plugin.

It works... somewhat. It loads the icons that are in the folder and I can see those icons in Iconic interface, but the moment I select any of those newly added icons Obsidian freezes and the Iconic's data.json is getting wiped out (emptied).

I don't know where the problem lays since I'm not a programmer, but I would appreciate any help.

Obsidian: 1.11.4
Obsidian Installer: 1.11.4
Iconic: 1.1.4
Add Custom Icons: 1.0.1

@Riffaells it works perfectly

One little thing though, this last release is missing the manifest.json, and although it's not a problem for me (I copied the file from the previous release), some people may find it confusing.

Anyhow, it works great! Thank you again!

@Riffaells Sorry to bother you again, but I think the issue with the freezing still persist. Again, I don't know is it's related to your plugin Add Custom Icons or Iconic itself, but here what's happening.

As it turns out Obsidian only freezes with specific icons, as the ones attached here.

min_google-translation
min_Mask
min_pot

I can open those without an issue in the browser, but when loaded in Obsidian with your plugin they look empty, as shown on the screengrab below.

Most of the rest show without an issue. Here is an example of 2 icons that are loading without a problem.

min_ZPlotBrainstorming 01
min_ZzSpaceRocket 02

and this is how they render in Iconic:

thank you for your help.

I just realized the working svgs I shared contain raster data. So, here is another one that works and is purely xml.
min_plant(1)
