使用方法
1. 设置全局图标
在插件设置中可以设置:

3. 设置文件夹规则
你可以按文件夹名称设置图标,例如:
AssetsTemplatesProjects
文件夹规则同样支持拖动排序,并且可以分别设置:
- 折叠图标
- 展开图标
4. 设置局部图标
插件支持给某一个具体文件或文件夹单独指定图标。
使用方式:
- 在左侧文件树中右键文件或文件夹
- 选择对应的图标设置菜单
- 在图标选择器中选择图标
局部图标优先级高于全局图标、文件后缀规则和文件夹名称规则。
5. 使用图标选择器
图标选择器支持:
- 搜索内置图标
- 查看最近使用图标
- 选择自定义 SVG 图标
- 选择局部图标时复用最近使用图标
6. 新建自定义图标
在插件设置的“自定义 SVG 图标”区域,你可以:
- 直接粘贴 SVG
- 导入已有 SVG 文件
- 使用简易画板手绘图标
- 编辑已保存的自定义图标
- 删除不再需要的自定义图标
保存后,自定义图标可以在以下位置复用:

- 文件规则
- 文件夹规则
- 局部文件图标
- 局部文件夹图标
图标优先级
图标生效顺序如下:
- 局部图标覆盖

如果规则列表中有多个规则命中,则以排序更靠前的规则为准。

Installation
Manual Installation
Copy these files into your vault plugin folder:
main.jsmanifest.jsonstyles.css
Example path:
.obsidian/plugins/explorer-icon-studio/
Then enable Explorer Icon Studio in Obsidian community plugins.
Usage
1. Set Global Icons
In plugin settings, you can configure:
- Default file icon
- Default collapsed folder icon
- Default expanded folder icon
These defaults are used when no override or rule matches.
2. Create File Rules
You can assign icons by file extension, for example:
mdtxtpngexcalidraw
Rules can be reordered by drag and drop, and earlier rules have higher priority.
3. Create Folder Rules
You can assign icons by folder name, for example:
AssetsTemplatesProjects
Folder rules also support drag-and-drop ordering, and each rule can define:
- A collapsed icon
- An expanded icon
4. Set Per-Path Icons
You can assign a custom icon to one specific file or folder.
How to use it:
- Right-click a file or folder in the file tree
- Choose the icon action from the context menu
- Pick an icon in the icon picker
Per-path overrides take priority over global icons and rules.
5. Use the Icon Picker
The icon picker supports:
- Searching built-in icons
- Viewing recently used icons
- Choosing custom SVG icons
- Reusing recent icons while setting per-path overrides
6. Create Custom Icons
In the Custom SVG Icons section of plugin settings, you can:
- Paste SVG directly
- Import an existing SVG file
- Draw an icon on the built-in canvas
- Edit saved custom icons
- Delete icons you no longer need
Saved custom icons can be reused in:
- Global icons
- File rules
- Folder rules
- Per-file icons
- Per-folder icons
Icon Priority
Icons are applied in this order:
- Per-path overrides
- File rules / folder rules
- Global default icons
If multiple rules match, the earlier rule in the list wins.
