Iconizer

Iconizer is a modern WPF application that automatically adds programming language and application icons to Windows folders, enhancing folder navigation and visual organization.

Overview

Iconizer simplifies the process of customizing folder icons on Windows systems. Instead of manually changing icons one by one, Iconizer automatically identifies project folders and applies appropriate programming language or application icons based on folder content analysis. This makes it easy to visually distinguish between different project types (Python, Rust, JavaScript, etc.) or application folders.

Features

• Automatic Icon Assignment: Scan and apply icons to folders based on their contents
• Programming Language Detection: Identify project folders and apply the appropriate language icon (Python, Rust, JavaScript, etc.)
• Application Icon Support: Assign recognizable icons for application folders (Gmail, VS Code, Chrome, etc.)
• Icon Library Management: Built-in library of programming and application icons with import/export capabilities
• Folder Monitoring: Optional background service to monitor folder changes
• Preview Mode: See icon changes before applying them
• Batch Processing: Apply icons to multiple folders simultaneously
• Undo/Revert: Easily restore original folder appearances

Architecture

Iconizer follows Clean Architecture principles with a clear separation of concerns:
