Description

Icon packaging method and device, icon display method and computing equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of icon archiving management, in particular to an icon packaging method and device, an icon display method and computing equipment.

Background

Most applications require loading of resource files, such as icons, translation files, pictures, etc., at the installation runtime. The types of the icons are various, and mainly include: 1. dividing according to the type of the subject, wherein the subject comprises a bright icon and a dark icon; 2. dividing according to function types, wherein the function types comprise plain text type icons, action icons and iconic icons; 3. and the icons are divided according to the types of the reference icons and comprise single icons and status icons.

Currently, in Qt (cross-platform graphical user interface application development framework) applications, these icon resources are packaged and located by the Qt resource system. In most cases, these icon resources are embedded into the execution files of the application, through which they are loaded into libraries and plug-ins. These icon resources may also be stored in an external resource file in rcc format. Specifically, qt uses qrc (resource configuration file in Qt) format file (XML) to list the icon resource files needed at runtime, reads the content of qrc file through resource compiling tool (rcc), generates c + + source file, and embeds the source file into the execution file, library or plug-in after construction, or generates an rcc file for external resource loading.

In the icon resource directory structure obtained after the Qt resource system is packaged, the directories are named according to the size of the icon (for example, 32 × 32), and the high DPI syntax of "@ nx" is adopted in the case of supporting the high DPI version (for example, 32 × 32@ 2). Under the list of icon size, the list is named according to the icon function (e.g. actions).

When the application runs, the built-in icon engine can automatically find the designated icon file and select the correct icon to draw when the control state or the theme changes. Specifically, qt provides a QIcon class, a certain theme is set through a function (setThemeName) under the QIcon class, and then an icon under the theme is searched through an interface (fromtheme), thereby completing a function of switching icons under different themes through setting the theme.

The above icon packaging method has disadvantages in that: according to the difference of the theme type, the icon size, the icon function type and the state type, the number of directories and files of the icon becomes huge along with the increase of the demand, and the unified and standardized format of the management icon does not exist at present. In addition, to complete the switching of different status and theme icons, the relevant switching logic needs to be added manually, which may result in an increase in the amount of repetitive code.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

According to the technical scheme of the invention, the filing and packaging format is provided, and the filing and packaging format specifies how to combine a plurality of icon files with different control states and theme types into one file. After merging into one file, the application may find icon files of different subjects, different states, and different sizes in the file.

The archive packaging format, which may also be referred to as an archive packaging specification, is described below. File directory structure and naming needs to meet the specification before it can be packaged into a file. The specification specifies information such as the status and type of icons to be packaged. One example of specific details of various provisions in the specification are described below to facilitate understanding of the inventive arrangements by those skilled in the art. It is understood that the following description is given by way of example only and that various changes in the form and details of the icons, naming schemes, etc. may be made by those skilled in the art as desired.

The states of icons to be archived may be specified in the specification as a default state (normal), a disabled state (disabled), a hover state (hover), a pressed state (pressed). These four states are different forms that adapt to the appearance of environmental changes. Wherein the disabled state is represented as no longer responding to input events such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc.; in the hover state, the mouse hovers over the icon.

The specification may specify the type of icon to be archived as a plain text type icon (text), an action type icon (action), and an icon type icon (icon). The three icons are classified according to different interface environments. Wherein, the color of the plain text type icon (text) is filled as the text color in the context environment in actual use and needs to change along with the foreground color of the brush; the action type icon has the color in a non-default state consistent with the text type icon; the color of the icon-type icon does not change in any state.

The specification may specify that icons to be archived are scaled by: no zooming, 2 times magnification and 3 times magnification. These three scaling factors are set to accommodate different DPIs (image resolutions). It should be understood that this list of multiples is merely an example and one skilled in the art could set different zoom classifications depending on actual image resolution or other needs.

The specification may specify that the topics of the icons to be archived are: a light icon (light) for a light color environment; dark icon (dark) for dark environment. The classification is made to accommodate different shades.

The format of the icon to be packaged can be specified in the specification as: webp and png. Among them, webp is a picture file format that provides both lossy compression and lossless compression (reversible compression). Png is a bitmap graphics format that supports lossless compression.

The specification may specify that the preset naming format of the icon file to be packaged includes icon name, zoom factor and connector, such as: { icon name } @ { zoom factor }, only icon files that meet the naming rules can be found.

The user can preset the structure of the directory for icon filing, and the naming of each level of directory of the preset directory structure is carried out according to the specification of the filing and packaging specification. When the icon is actually searched and packed, the icon is searched and packed according to the naming or specification of each level of directory of the directory structure.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the directory structure, in which the first-level directory to the third-level directory are directory structures set in advance, and the fourth-level directory is filled after the icon is found. That is, the directory structure shown in fig. 1 is also a directory structure after a plurality of icon files are packed into an enclosure file. As shown in FIG. 1, the directory structure comprises a total of four levels of directory. The first-level directory is named according to the "icon type", such as text, action, and icon, and when the icon is actually searched, the icon is searched according to the icon type specified by the first-level directory. The second level directory is named by "icon size", such as 16, 32, 512, etc., as shown, which is in bytes. The third-level directory is named according to "icon status", "theme type", and "picture format", such as the named example in fig. 1: { icon status } { subject type } { file suffix name corresponding to picture format }, such as normal. Icon files, such as "foregoround @1", are placed in the fourth level directory. Where "forego" is just an example of naming, the file naming may also be e.g. "park @ { zoom factor }". The icon archiving and packaging method reads the directory created in advance, searches the icon according to the directory structure and places the icon into the fourth-level directory.

The file format after filing and packaging according to the directory shown in fig. 1 is DCI (DSG combined ics, wherein DSG (Desktop Specification Group) is a work Group of UOS (unified Desktop operating system) making Specification). It should be understood that if different directory structures are adopted, for example, the third-level directory only specifies the icon status, the fourth-level directory below specifies the theme type, the fifth-level directory specifies the icon format, or other adjustments are made to the directory structure, the file format after filing and packaging according to the adjusted directory may be in other formats.

The basic attributes of the DCI file are described below. The type of the DCI file is image/DCI, and is extended on the existing standard of application/octet-stream (application/octet-stream). The magic value (magic value) is DCI, the type is string (string), and the offset value may be 0. The icon name corresponding to the DCI file type is image-DCI. The DCI header uses a little endian, the metadata of the file is located at the beginning of the file, and the contents are shown in table 1 below.

Table 1

When parsing the header information, the MAGIC value may be checked first, then the VERSION (VERSION) is read according to the address offset, that is, the SIZE of the MAGIC value (MAGIC _ SIZE (4B)), and finally the number of files (fileCount) is read according to the SIZE of the MAGIC value and the SIZE of the VERSION value (MAGIC _ SIZE (4B) + VERSION _ SIZE (1B)).

The metadata of each file (packaged icon) shown in the above table is as shown in table 2 below.

Table 2

As shown in Table 2, in the file type column, a default value is used to indicate the file type of the icon. The default value is a value assigned according to the attribute of the icon after the icon is acquired so as to distinguish various types, and can be selected from four numerical values of 0-3, wherein: the value 0 represents a reserved value that can be used later when a new icon format is available; the value 1 represents the icon type as file, the value 2 represents the icon type as directory, and the value 3 represents the icon type as link. Wherein, the number 2 indicates that the icon is from a directory, the directory file is also a file type, and sub-directories can be nested under the directory.

In the case of parsing a metafile, the first 1B parsed by the offset address is a file type, the data following the file type is a file name of size 63B, and the data following is a file size of size 8B. If the file type is a directory, the data following the file size is another metafile, and if the file type is a file or a link, the data following the file size is file content data.

The icon packaging method according to the embodiment of the invention is described below, and the icon packaging method is executed in a computing device, and the computing device comprises the preset directory, wherein the preset directory comprises a four-level directory structure, the first-level directory specifies the icon type, the second-level directory specifies the icon size, the third-level directory specifies the icon state, the theme type and the picture format, and the fourth-level directory places the icons. Fig. 2 shows a schematic flow diagram of an example of the icon packaging method. As shown in fig. 2, the icon packaging method includes steps 210-250. The steps are described in detail below.

In step 210, one or more first icon sets are formed by finding icons matching the icon categories according to the icon categories specified by the one or more first-level directories.

In step 220, in each first set of icons, icons matching the icon size are found according to the icon size specified by one or more second-level directories to form one or more second sets of icons.

In step 230, in each second icon set, icons matching the icon status, the theme type and the picture format are found according to the icon status, the theme type and the picture format specified by one or more third-level directories to form one or more third icon sets.

Optionally, the process of forming any third icon set may include: searching icons matched with the icon state specified by any third-level directory, searching icons matched with the theme type specified by any third-level directory in the result set to obtain a further result set, and searching icons matched with the picture format specified by any third-level directory in the further result set to form any third icon set.

Alternatively, the set of icons formed in step 230 may require that a default (normal) state of a certain icon must exist, and that other states may/may not exist. This is because the default state is a necessary icon state, and other states are obtained after changing from the default state, and if the default state is lacking, icons in other states can be deleted. Thus, step 230 may optionally comprise the sub-steps of: for any icon with any name, judging whether an icon with a default state exists in all the third icon sets, for example, judging whether the icon with the default state exists in all the third icon sets for background @ {2}, wherein in one or more third icon sets formed, as long as one third icon set has the default state; if not, removing the icons in other states from the third icon sets, wherein the other states are states other than the default state, such as the icons in the disabled state of removing background @ {2}, the suspended state and the pressed state.

In step 240, in each third set of icons, icons that conform to the preset naming format are found and placed in one or more fourth level directories. The preset naming format may include, by way of example, an icon name, a zoom factor, and a connector, which may be, by way of example, { icon name } @ { zoom factor }, such as "park @2".

Icon files placed in the fourth level directory may be arranged in ascending name order, such as following the natural ordering rules in the english environment (e.g., "a2" is arranged before "a 11"). In addition, whether the file type is a file, a directory, or a link is not distinguished when arranged in ascending order.

In step 250, the preset directory is packaged to generate a package file.

The following describes the process of icon adaptation according to the theme and status change after packaging into DCI files according to the above method.

When the computing system theme changes, the method of the embodiment of the invention can judge the change of the computing system theme, such as changing from light to dark, and then search for a matched icon, such as a bright icon, in the DCI file to adapt to the dark theme.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an icon display method implemented based on a package file generated by packaging the icon package method, the icon display method including: responding to theme changes of the current operating environment; searching a required icon in the packaging file, wherein the required icon is consistent with the size, the name and the zoom multiple of the icon in the current operating environment and is adaptive to the theme after the current operating environment is changed; and replacing the icon in the current operating environment by using the icon searched in the packaging file.

When the icon state needs to be changed, for example, a cursor is suspended on the icon, and the icon is changed into a suspended state, the method of the embodiment of the invention can automatically search the suspended state in the DCI file to match the state.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an icon display method implemented based on a package file generated by packaging the icon package method, the icon display method including: responding to the state change of the control; searching a required icon in the packaging file, wherein the required icon is consistent with the size, the name and the zoom multiple of the icon currently used by the control and is adaptive to the state of the control after the control is changed; and applying the icon found in the packaging file to the control.

Alternatively, for example, when an icon with a size of 16 is required, icons with a size of 16 or more are preferentially searched, and when the icon cannot be found, a larger icon resource can be used, and the zoom factor can be ignored so as to use the icon resource with the smallest size that is the most matched. Ignoring the scaling factor means: if the icon zoom factor in the DCI file is 1, the icon with size 16 is adapted in size; if the icon zoom factor is 2, then an icon of size 32 is fitted. If no icon of size 16 is found, the icon of size 32 is found directly, regardless of the zoom factor.

When the icons are searched according to the zoom times, if the icons of the target zoom times do not exist, icons of higher times can be selected. If there are no more multiple icons, the more multiple icons in the lower multiple may be used. In summary, the principle of searching by the scaling factor can be summarized as follows: if the icon of the target zoom factor is not found, the icon with the higher magnification is selected from other icons.

Alternatively, when the desired icon is not found, such as an icon in a hover (hover) state is desired and not found from the DCI file, the default state may be allowed to be used instead.

Optionally, when the required icon is not found, the required icon can be drawn in a customized manner. The steps of the process include: judging whether the required icon is found in the packaging file or not; and under the condition that the needed icon is not found, calling a drawing interface, and drawing the needed icon according to the setting of the user. With regard to the drawing interface, the user can implement the DDCIIcon interface using a QIcon-like interface. User setting refers to a user setting a desired theme and state of an icon as needed. Rendering may be performed by a rendering (paint) function of the ddciicn interface.

Icons may also be found in the DCI file to enable custom control style rendering. For example, when the icon provides only the icon for the default (normal) state, the icon for the default state may be processed to obtain the other state. For example, when the system theme changes, to adapt to the change, the brightness of the text icon or the color of the text icon may be changed, and those skilled in the art may also customize other processed effects as needed. The processing is carried out as follows: firstly, a DCI icon of a control is searched in a DCI file through the following codes: DDCIIcon dciicon = DDCIIcon:: fromTheme ("slider _ point _ down"); button × pButton = new Button (dciicon, this).

Wherein, the name of the icon is written in the bracket behind the Fromtheme. After the corresponding icon is found, the processing of pixels may be performed on the icon in the default state by the icon engine to transition the icon from the default state to another state, such as a pressed state.

In addition, for the case that the icon type is a link, the reading and writing operation on the content of the link file is equivalent to reading and writing the target of the link, wherein the target of the link can be "file" or other "link" (unlinkable itself), otherwise the link target is considered to be invalid. If the link target is invalid or does not exist, the reading and writing fails, and an empty path is provided for the user at the moment. The user may also be provided with a method to allow the user to obtain the raw data of the link path, i.e. the data pointed to by the icon of the link type.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, icons which meet specific specifications and names, are different in types, sizes and states, topics and formats and have scaling factors can be filed together according to the defined DCI file format, so that a developer can conveniently manage and utilize the icons. Through the uniform definition of the format of the filing file, an implementer can analyze the icons in different states and themes. The user can use the icons in the DCI file format accurately and conveniently without concern for status and subject. By realizing a DCI icon interface (DDciicon), icons in the DCI file are searched, and automatic switching of the icons adapting to different states and themes can be completed. Therefore, a user of the control does not need to write codes to realize the switching of the icons adapting to different states and themes, and the increase of repeated codes is avoided.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided an icon packaging apparatus, located in a computing device, where the computing device includes a preset directory, the preset directory includes a four-level directory structure, the first-level directory specifies a type of an icon, the second-level directory specifies a size of the icon, the third-level directory specifies a state of the icon, a type of a subject, and a format of a picture, and the fourth-level directory places the icon. Fig. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of an example of the icon packaging apparatus 300. As shown in fig. 3, the icon packaging apparatus 300 includes a first lookup module 310, a second lookup module 320, a third lookup module 330, a fourth lookup module 340, and a packing module 350.
