Re: Associating suffixes, programs and icons with MIME.

[Charles Plessy]

Dear Josselin, thanks for your answers.

The program for which I want to add a file icon is PerlPrimer, and only
provides a 32x32 XPM icon. If I submit the following patch to the bug
448094, would you, as upstream author, recommend to the debhelper
maintainer to incorporate it ?

                }


For PerlPrimer, I declared a specific mime type as text/x-perlprimer.
Apparently you suggetst that if I place an icon named
gnome-mime-text-x-perlprimer.xpm in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/mimetypes/,
it would work but break thinks. Can you give me details on the problems it
creates ?

Does anybody know if a desktop manager follows the FreeDesktop standard for
icon names? If I put an icon named text-x-perlprimer.xpm somewhere in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/NxN/mimetypes, will it be useless everywhere ?

Lastly, for symlinks, is there any recommentation on where to put the real
file?

Have a nice day, and of course a nice year.
