Hi Rodney and d-d-l, It appears we're moving to the new icon-naming spec for 2.16 right? At least looking at gnome-icon-theme in CVS it appears that way. So, in order to do this I'd like to move the hal code in gnome-vfs to use the new icon names but I'm at a loss.
Looking at http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html (I couldn't seem to find the CVS, SVN or git repo, please advise) there don't seem to be names for many of the icons I need. For example, the spec mentions only drive-cdrom The icon used for CD and DVD drives. drive-harddisk The icon used for hard disk drives. drive-removable-media The icon used for removable media drives. media-cdrom The icon used for physical CD and DVD media. media-floppy The icon used for physical floppy disk media. multimedia-player The icon used for generic multimedia playing devices. however that's not the way the code works. For example, if you look at http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-vfs/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c?rev=1.34&view=markup you will see what icons we currently use are defined in the variable hal_icon_mapping[]. So, around the 2.14 release I remember flamewars about dumbing down icons and that's not what I'm getting at - this is not a flame. But I think that before we can move at least GNOME VFS to the new spec we at least need new names that cover the icons we currently use (e.g. things like gnome-dev-removable-usb, gnome-dev-disc-dvdr-plus) and ideally also the icons I marked as TODO in the source (for example gnome-dev-removable-cf). Whether gnome-icon-theme, Tango or whatever just provides symlinks for these (e.g. media-disc-dvdr-plus -> media-cdrom) is fine with me. And I think this is the point yes? I mean, if I look at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/tango/tango-icon-theme-extras/22x22/devices/ it appears that e.g. media-memory-compact-flash is an icon we can use instead of the gnome-dev-media-cf. So, is it possible to update the spec to meet the current and future needs of GNOME VFS? Or at least point me to a document where this is already defined. Also, I'm slightly curious about the status of moving apps in the Platform and Desktop to use the new naming spec.
