On the Mac, the icon for a non-graphics file is a miniature of the first page of the document, if that is meaningful, badged near the bottom with "TXT" "PDF", etc., if the operating system knows how to do it. Otherwise, it seems to show an icon from the default application. There is /some/ differentiation possible; ODF files show modified OOo icons depending on type: test, spreadsheet, etc.. -- John W Kennedy "...if you had to fall in love with someone who was evil, I can see why it was her." -- "Alias" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-h...@openoffice.org
