File icons for LabVIEW files in the VS Code explorer, tabs and breadcrumbs.
Features
Icons for LabVIEW file types. The icons keep the LabVIEW cues: folded page, yellow connector triangle and the native glyph colours.
A class-member VI icon for VIs owned by a .lvclass.
XML highlighting for XML-based LabVIEW files. INI highlighting for .aliases and .lvlps.
Requirements
An icon theme that shows language icons. Seti, the default theme, does. If your icon theme has its own icon for a file extension, that icon wins.
Class-member VIs
The extension reads every .lvclass file in the workspace and finds the member VIs. It writes these VIs to files.associations in the workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json, or the .code-workspace file for multi-root) with the value labview-vi-class.
When all VIs below a class folder are class members, the extension writes one glob for that folder. Otherwise it writes one entry for each VI.
Entries with other values are not changed.
The entries refresh when .lvclass or .vi files change.
This feature needs a trusted workspace. File icons also work in Restricted Mode.
Extension Settings
labviewIcons.classMemberIcons (default true): show the class-member icon. Set false to remove the managed entries.
Commands
LabVIEW Icons: Refresh Class Member Icons
LabVIEW Icons: Remove Class Member Associations

To change an icon, edit tools/build_icons.py and run npm run icons. This also rebuilds images/icons-preview.svg. Render it to images/icons-preview.png for the README (the Marketplace does not accept SVG images). images/icon.png is rendered from images/icon.svg.
