Favicon replacement rules

The favicon is replaced by the following rules.

Rule1

The icon of the resource group is used as the favicon of the tab, when your browser's tab is opening Azure Resource Groups or your resources in a resource group.

Rule2

The icon of the service is used as the favicon of the tab, when your browser's tab is opening an Azure Service (ex. Virtual Machines, Storage accounts, and so on).

Note In case of App Services, the icon of Web Apps is used though App Services contains not only Web Apps resource but also Function App resource.

Rule3

The icon in top of the blade list (i.e. Overview ) is used as the favicon of the tab, when your browser's tab is opening your Azure resource.

2. Blink favicon during configuration

When starting a process taking long time (deploying new resouces, changing configuration of your resources or deleting your resources), the favicon of the tab is blinked until the process finishes.

3. Notify when finishing configuration

When finishing a process taking long time, a notification is displayed on your desktop, and the tab can be activated by clicking the notification.

4. Activate the portal tab when finishing configuration (Experimental)

When finishing a process taking long time, the tab opening Azure portal is activated (i.e. to be brought to the top) automatically.

5. Copy resouce information (v0.0.5 or later)

Add the following copy menu to the resource page's header and disable built-in Copy title to clipbord in More content actions menu.

• Resource name
• Resource Id
  format:

  /subscriptions/{subscription_id}/resourceGroups/{resource_group_name}/providers/{resource_provider_name}/{resource_type}/{resource_name}
  

• Resource name and group as Azure CLI option
  format:

  --name {resource_name} --resource-group {resource_group_name}

• Resource name and group as Azure PowerShell option
  format:

  -Name {resource_name} -ResourceGroup {resource_group_name}

• Resource Template (JSON)
  format:

  {
    "name": "{resource_name}",
    "id": "/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/resourceGroups/{resource_group_name}/providers/{resource_provider_name}/{resource_type}/{resource_name}",
    "type": "{resource_provider_name}",
  
      :
  }

• Resource and group name as Azure CLI option
