AS Font Icon Picker v1.2

AS Font Icon Picker is a lightweight, searchable icon picker utility built with AutoHotkey v2. It allows developers and designers to browse, search, and copy icons from various icon fonts (such as Segoe MDL2 Assets, Segoe Fluent Icons, Wingdings, etc.) based on external data files.

Features

• Multi-Font Support: Dynamically loads icon data from CSV files located in the fonts_data directory.
• Searchable Interface: Quickly filter icons by their Unicode hex code or description.
• Easy Copying:
  • Double-click: Copy the icon character directly.
  • Right-click Menu: Copy the icon character, Unicode hex code, or name/description.
• Responsive Design: Resizable window with layout adjustments.
• About Dialog: Integrated version and contact information.

How to Use

1. Requirements: Ensure you have AutoHotkey v2 installed.
2. Data Files: Place your icon data in the fonts_data folder. Each font should have its own CSV file (e.g., Segoe_MDL2_Assets.csv).
   • Format: HexCode,Description (e.g., E700,Home)
3. Launch: Run AS Font Icon Picker.ahk.
4. Select Font: Use the dropdown menu at the top to switch between available font data files.
5. Search & Copy: Type in the search box to find icons. Use the context menu or double-click to copy to your clipboard.

About Font Data Files

The application dynamically loads icon data from CSV files. This allows you to easily add support for new icon fonts without modifying the code.

How to Prepare a Data File

1. File Name: Create a new CSV file in the fonts_data folder. The filename (excluding the .csv extension) must match the exact name of the font installed on your system (e.g., Segoe MDL2 Assets.csv).
2. Format: Each line in the file should follow the HexCode,Description format.
   • HexCode: The Unicode hexadecimal value (e.g., E700).
   • Description: A friendly name or description for the icon (e.g., Home).
3. Encoding: It is recommended to save the CSV file with UTF-8 encoding to ensure special characters in descriptions are handled correctly.

How it Works

• The program lists all .csv files found in the fonts_data directory.
• When you select a font from the dropdown, the software uses the filename to load the font into the interface.
• It then parses the CSV to display the icons and their descriptions.
