Favorites pallet (Design Needed to Unblock!)
Dear UX/UI team,
At the 2020 hackfest, the developer team decided that the merge request inkscape!644 (closed) can not be merged as is because it lacks sufficient design. Developers have identified one requirement which needs to be taken into account.
Currently the merge request and the design REQUIRES that every extension, every filter and every unremarked verb have it's own icon. This balloons the number of icons in inkscape by many many times and creates problems such as extensions not shipped with Inkscape lacking icons and other complications.
Developers NEED this requirement to be removed. The merge request must not include any new specific icons to be a useful feature.
My personal suggestion is that the design be changed so that an icon can be selected from a preset pallet of icons (some generic things) as well as being able to select the user's own png icon using a file browser. But, acting with my developer hat on, I will leave the actual design to the experts here.
Thank you all for your help getting this feature completed!
