Has someone developed a regression testing tool to discover what icons have been removed/renamed and haven't been added to the compatibility layer in icon-naming-utils? A number of icons do not seem to have made it into the spec, including icons for a selection of removable media: jaz disks, zip disks, SD/MMC cards. A regression testing tool would also give us an idea of what icons we've lost completely. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
