Script for generating icons for Flutter apps from Adobe Illustrator. The script can also be used for other,

more generic projects.

## Setup

Copy the file `ai/FlutterGenerateIcons.jsx` to 

- `~/Applications/{Adobe Illustrator}/Presets/{locale}/Scripts/` for macOS, or

- `C:\Program Files\Adobe\{Adobe Illustrator}\Presets\{locale}\Scripts\` for Windows.

5. From popup select the **root** of your Flutter project (directory containing `pubspec.yaml` file).

6. In the main window of script

   - choose the Artboard you want exported,

   - platforms for which you want to generate the icons, and

   - leave Flutter checked under frameworks.

7. Click on "Export" button and wait for the window to close.

8. If everything went as expected, you should have appropriate icons in desired folders.

### Non-Flutter projects

   - *Android:* Select the root of your Android project.

   - uncheck the Flutter checkbox under frameworks.

### Creating an ICO file

By defualt, when creating an icon for Windows, only PNGs of different sizes are created. In order to

combine them into a `.ico` file, use [`png2ico`](https://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/). Usage is

completely straightforward and a project has great documentation.

## User interface

The user interface is completely straightforward and plain, without any unnecessary garbage.
