Sorry for still not having it updated for search functionality after a month. Work is under way, but it has been difficult, considering performance and memory usage
I'm trying to use only the search functionality from LibAdvancedIconSelector, while still showing the Blizzard icon selection frame instead of the LibAIS one
I also use Macro Toolkit, which has recently been updated, but it calls the standard macro selection window instead of your Larger window when clicking "Change Name/Icon" or "New". Is that something that you can change (and would be willing to change), or would the MT author have to enable that functionality?
It's not a huge deal, as I can create the macro in MT and just use the default macro UI to open your frame and pick a different icon afterwards if I want.
Thanks for trying to wrangle Blizzard's icons for us!
It looks like Macro Toolkit uses its own frame for showing icons
The author could increase the amount of icons in there, or use the default Blizzard icons popup frame (if possible), then it should show the bigger macro icons window
Otherwise I don't mind to make simple changes the author requests to make it work together
I'm the author of Macro Toolkit. I'm not sure how much there is to be gained from making it compatible with this addon, but I'll have a go if there's demand.
Macro Toolkit already uses LibAdvancedIconSelector, though I've heavily modified it since the author stopped updating it.
The search is still there, but it's limited to icon names - I've abandoned the keyword thing. For reference, there is a FileDataID lookup here but it's well over a meg in size.
I've made a cut down version for Macro Toolkit which you are free to use if it's of any use (Macro Toolkit\modules\textures.lua) but it's far from ideal (or complete). I've removed paths and unneccesary text to get the file size down to just over 400k - still very big though.
Sounds like a hot mess all around! Thanks to the both of you for making macros/icons a bit easier to deal with anyway. I've actually started using Edit Macro Icons in addition to LMIS and MT. It's probably a little faster for me to open up Wowhead's icon search and find the ID I want and plug it into one of the EMI commands. It's a shame that the WoW icon database is so ponderous that going to a website and then pasting data into a command is the fast way to set an icon!
All 3 of these addons help in different ways. Thanks again!

Sorry for assuming that you weren't using LibAdvancedIconSelector, I will look into using the modified version of the library
Not sure if it's better to support the texture names, or rather the cut down version from your \modules\textures.lua
Seriously though, excellent job. I have been looking for something like this for eons. I had tried to use AdvancedIconSelector and had some issues. Now it's completely broken...
I second the request.... make a search able option, pretty please?!?
I'm glad about addon as is. At least we have more icons at once than pitty 15 icons shown in original UI. In fact why Advanced Icon Selector is broken even I'm able patch it to work with Legion is lack of possibility to search icons by name. Guess why?
Because someone on Blizzard did decide to have identify texture by TextureID instead of real texture name. So make "search" to works someone must to do data mining and create table with relation from TextureID to TextureName. Actually in WoW API there is no function where is possible convert TextureID to TextureName as far as I do know.
It's possible to add a (very basic) search bar, but not as advanced as AdvancedIconSelector
The first problem is that in Legion the macro icon texture paths were changed into FileDataIDs so there needs to be a library for that
The second problem is, we would then only be able to do a simple search on texture paths, unlike AdvancedIconSelector which also makes icons searchable with custom keywords
The third problem is, well... I'm an idiot. This is all new to me
I was hoping AdvancedIconSelector could get patched up. But it suffers the same FileDataIDs problem and incomplete keywords data, while the author seems to be MIA
TL;DR a (very basic) search box for texture paths could be added, but we need that (standalone?) library

^^The person that updated AdvancedIconSelector for WoD has recently said the same thing. Looks like he/she is *maybe* going to try to create a custom dictionary of IDs <==> names/keywords, but it sounds like long, tedious work.
It's a shame that Blizzard has made it even more difficult to parse and find icons, considering their icon library is only getting more massive with each patch.
Seriously wish you would pick up working on this addon again, it's awesome but way out of date :/
Like others have mentioned, the window does not have all the new icons which is a real shame and as requested by others as well, I would love to see your improvet icon window for equipment sets, guild bank tabs, etc. etc.
Will this be updated for 5.04? Icons are missing now. There are a lot of new ones for Mists of Pandaria that were added. Also, it seems that there are a lot of icons that are appearing in duplicate and/or triplicate in the default view. So, maybe all of this has changed how the icons appear with the addon installed.
LOVE this :D Please please make an option to rescale all other icon selection windows too tho, such as equipment set icons, bank tab icons, etc etc etc

(Edit) He could use LibAdvancedIconSelector instead, there is an updated version of it in Bear in Mind

In any case, awesome addon ;)
Love the addon wish you would update :)
I just installed this after 5.0.4, did commandsto no avail (get chat message saying 'Type /help for a listing...
/lmis 10 10
/lmis 10,10
/lmis width 10 height 10

Other than that, great addon!
Just found this great addon. Takes a bit of the frustration away when creating macros & searching for the correct spell icon.
I wondered the same though... is it possible for you to make it work with the item sets icon selection window?
@Twopro
Aah, I knew about that one but haven't checked it out. Thanks!
LOVE this :D
Please please make an option to rescale all other icon selection windows too tho, such as equipment set icons, bank tab icons, etc etc etc
