Nativescript: add icon and specify name

Question

How would i add a custom icon with a given name to my nativescript project using the tns resources generate icons-command

$tns resources generate icons ~/myfolder/myspecialicon.png

Say i want the command to place the icon(s) in the correct folders maintaining the name myspecialicon.xxx instead of just overwriting the default icon.png?

Cheers

Lasse

At this stage, the command can only generate the app icon (`icon.png`) — Nick Iliev, Sep 18 '18 at 07:23
Or use a third-party tool :) https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html#foreground.type=clipart&foreground.clipart=android&foreground.space.trim=1&foreground.space.pad=0.25&foreColor=rgba(96%2C%20125%2C%20139%2C%200)&backColor=rgb(68%2C%20138%2C%20255)&crop=0&backgroundShape=square&effects=none&name=ic_launcher — Nick Iliev, Sep 18 '18 at 10:02
Thanks man. Guess you still have to merge the content of the folders manually or via the command-line? — Lasse van den Bosch Christense, Sep 18 '18 at 10:08

That only generates the app icon. To generate other icons (and other image assets, really) I recommend the online tool http://images.nativescript.rocks/.

It generates assets for both Android and iOS. All you have to do is grab the result and merge it into your project's App_Resources. I know it is not ideal but it's the best workflow I found so far.
