Automate Exports from the Command Line

IconGenerator includes CLI support for batch generation from AXICP collections. This is the recommended path for repeatable builds and CI jobs.

Step 1 - Prepare a stable AXICP collection

• Create or open a collection and finalize icon list.
• Confirm naming/ID fields and variant settings before automation.

Step 2 - Run a minimal CLI command

icongenerator -g "C:\icons\project.axicp" -d "D:\build\icons" /svg

Step 3 - Add formats and sizes

icongenerator -g "C:\icons\project.axicp" -d "D:\build\icons" /svg /png /ico /s32p /s64p /s256p /sf --hide-progress

Step 4 - Add dark mode and colorization when needed

icongenerator -g "C:\icons\project.axicp" -d "D:\build\icons" /svg /png /dm /ic "#33FF99" /oc "#33FF99" --verbose

Quote color values in shells where # may start comments.

Step 5 - Integrate into scripts

• Windows BAT: use start /wait and check errorlevel.
• PowerShell: check $LASTEXITCODE.
• macOS/Linux shells: check command exit status after execution.

Dependency checks

• Install Inkscape if pipeline needs PDF/EPS/PS.
• Install FontForge if pipeline needs font output.
