question about variable substitution in `vsicons.customIconFolderPath`

I have a custom icon folder in my project directory that I would like to add into version control, but it seems I’m unable to utilize variable substitution in the vsicons.customIconFolderPath setting.

I’ve tried ${workspaceRoot}, ${workspaceFolder} and even a relative path (relative from .vscode/settings.json), and none of them works. But specifying the full absolute path to the directory works (using pwd). I would like to know if variable substitution is possible, thanks

@gerardmrk I added in projectFolder/.vscode/settings.json these lines:

"vsicons.customIconFolderPath": "./.vscode",
 "vsicons.associations.files": [
        { "icon": "formRelated", "extensions": ["form-container.tsx"], "filename": true, "format": "png", "overrides": "form-container.tsx" },
        { "icon": "formRelated", "extensions": ["form-view.tsx"], "filename": true, "format": "png", "overrides": "form-view.tsx" }
    ],

next I added vsicons-custom-icons folder and file_type_formRelated.png (32x32 px) file in it. projectFolder/.vscode/vsicons-custom-icons/file_type_formRelated.png

Press F1 > Icons: Apply Icons Customization

works for me.

I’m experimenting to see if I can come up with something, using workspaceRoot and workspaceFolder. Will post back if I have something worth mentioning.
