When enabled, shows SVG icons that are not exported from your files.

Path Configuration

default:"[]"
List of custom paths where the extension should look for SVG icon files. See Assets Path for details.
JT-View-Exports-SVG.ignoreDirectories
array
default:"[]"
Directories to exclude from scanning. See Ignore Directories for details.

object
Default properties applied to icons in the preview panel. See Default Properties for details.

System Settings

JT-View-Exports-SVG.lastScanDate

Configuration Scope

Most settings are workspace-scoped, meaning they can be configured differently for each project. Some settings like defaultExpandAll, defaultClickToOpenDevTools, and recent icons settings are application-scoped and apply globally across all workspaces.
