Hi, We are developing a cross-platform file manager Acelet-Filer at www.acelet.com. We found the way you implement you icon file is optional by the spec. We would like to ask you to add basic support for your icon file. The basic way is specified in the standard at http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html, particularly for:
Icon file An icon file is an image that can be loaded and used as an icon. The supported image file formats are PNG, XPM and SVG. PNG is the recommended bitmap format, and SVG is for vectorized icons. XPM is supported due to backwards compability reasons, and it is not recommended that new themes use XPM files. Support for SVGs is optional. "Support for SVGs is optional". You will get more support if you do not use optional mechanism. Directory Layout Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order). Applications may further add their own icon directories to this list, and users may extend or change the list (in application/desktop specific ways) Yes, "Applications may further add", but, you will get more support if you add basic settings from the spec. Thank you for offering good software Shotwell.
