Materialdesign: Not all Google icons are implemented

I searched for offline pin but I didn't found it, same goes for motorcycle.

Would be great to implement them :D

Alias Google

Most helpful comment

We do most of them. Remember this project has been around longer than the official one 馃槃. We add icons and so does Google so there is always some not synced. We just sync in the ones the community finds useful rather than all of them. Continue to open issues for icons you need that are missing.

We alias icons to make finding the official ones easier also (our naming standards are much more noun based). The new site being build at the moment should solve some of these issues.

/edit, Text based icons are not used because this pack is heavily internationally used. So English only icons are generally removed.

We have a different version before they added one it appears. https://materialdesignicons.com/motorbike

The pin icon probably won't be included. We generally do not include text based icons.

offline needs to be added, but will probably be called something else. Not sure that name fits that icon, but we can add a alias.

Why don't you include all Google icons? 馃

Because of that I have to search on two different sites... :/

Another icon which is missing is the "touch app" icon. Speaking of which, how do you decide which icons are included in the project?

@carlosbensant Pure dictator style generally. But our awesome contributors have _often_ changed my mind. 馃槂

cough "case"-sensitive cough

@CoDEmanX Punny, but yea we should remove that icon in an upcoming release.

@Templarian Perhaps it would be a good idea to go through the icons and make sure they all conform to the guidelines, are named appropriately, and add any missing icons and remove redundant ones. We would then release it as an MDI V2.0.0 along with the new site. I worry about removing/renaming too many icons between releases as its easy to change a file over to the new version but hard to check an entire project for icon errors if they aren't expected.

Visual Studio 2015:

(case sensitive, match words, regex)

@JamesCoyle I think we'll have maybe 2 releases before v2.0.0 There will be 2k icons, if 4 of them get renamed in that time it should be fine. Most are either using static or npm defined resources, so it shouldn't impact too much (I'm still using v1.7.22 at work).

There is still a lot to code before the new site releases I'm not sure the timetable for that yet.

@CoDEmanX Yea, I think replacing the icon and renaming it would be a good idea. That's a good icon Aa.

offline pin is being tracked in #2520 and motorcycle in #2660 so closing this one out.
