Bug ID: 473014
Summary: Add icon for backup files like .bak, separate from
current recycling icon
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons
Assignee: visual-des...@kde.org
Reporter: f.alexander.wi...@gmail.com
CC: kain...@gmail.com, m...@nueljl.in
Target Milestone: ---
According to https://www.bivouak.fr/dolphin-at-akademy-2023/ , .bak files are
associated with the mime type application/x-trash. While I think naming the
mime type "trash" is not a good fit, I think one way or another, the icon
should reflect that the file is a backup and not use the recycling icon. But
since https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml doesn't
mention an application/x-trash mime type either, maybe it might sense to add an
icon for application/x-backup. A Google search does show a few results for
"application/x-backup".
A noun project search for "backup" shows quite a few results showing a clock
with a counter-clockwise arrow along its circumference.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Create example.bak file
OBSERVED RESULT
An icon that suggests the file belongs in the trash
EXPECTED RESULT
An icon that suggests that the file is a potentially important backup
