[REQUEST] A plugin for better icons management

[kingston]

I personally hate how icons are managed by teamspeak client. It is such a basic, stupid window where you constantly try to find one of your 200+ icons because lazy teamspeak devs actually refused to even think of some re-design of that part for years or basic improvement that could probably take no more than a few hours to code/test. Like adding tabs, allow to drag and drop icons to group them, etc.

Is there any chance that this could be accomplished by custom plugin?

Yes, i also hate that window, that's why I do all icon management with YaTQA

YATQA isn't much better at this field anyway Basically it's not about listing tons of icons one by one. It's about grouping them and implementing some kind of sorting tools like custom tabs or even tags. After all this is a serious eye-candy and when you have a big server and lots of them - it is a hell now.

Imagine e.g. that you want your users to be able to use some game ranks. Then you might have like 20 of icons just for one game. Wouldn't it be nice to just have them under separate tab like "GAME 1 RANKS"? Or imagine you have 10 icons of fruits. So you naturally want them in a tab like "FRUITS" and there you go with your bananas, oranges, limes, etc. or VIP-only ranks so they don't mix with admin, game, porn and other ranks.

Tagging of icons could be even easier and more efficient. You simply assign as many tags as you want to any icon. Then you can put the tag in a search filter and only those tagged ones will appear in the general list. So when i added that strawberry icon i just tag it as fruit and then finding it takes a second when i actually filter out just fruits. Or a combination of a few filters at once.

Every icon has a unique name so it is so easy to implement this whole idea e.g. in YATQA by creating a local sqlite that will handle the "mapping" of icon names to particular groups/tags. And the rest is just a simple GUI for that. Server would never know and wouldn't care what we are displaying/browsing and what not.

Could possibly be done with just a plugin also, right?

This makes me seriously want to make an entirely new administration panel which has so much more to offer than what any options have right now. I'm in a development mood right now, make beautiful stuff --- add glitter to make it pretty and have a nice structure, so it works.

*drinks coffee* 9,999 lines of code later, nice web admin panel.
