[Bug 445065] Re: drive-harddisk-usb.svg and drive-removable-media-usb.svg should look different

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

** Description changed:

- Symlinks @drive-harddisk-usb.svg and @drive-removable-media-usb.svg points to 
the same gnome-dev-harddisk-usb.svg file in elementary-icons-2.2
+ Symlinks @drive-harddisk-usb.svg and @drive-removable-media-usb.svg points to 
the same gnome-dev-harddisk-usb.svg file in humanity-icon-theme 0.4.1ubuntu3 
package and elementary-icons-2.2
  These icons should be different, because drive-harddisk-usb.svg is for 
mounted partition (or device), while drive-removable-media-usb.svg is for 
unmounted, look at bug #253599 for more info about icon names of usb storage 
devices.
+ 
+ Humanity upstream developers renamed drive-removable-media-usb-pendrive.svg 
icons to drive-removable-media-usb.svg (see 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementaryart/humanity/Humanity/revision/397 ), 
but I think this is not good decision, because in Ubuntu 9.04 
drive-removable-media-usb icon is for unmounted partitions of USB devices (all 
drive-removable-media* icons are used for unmounted partitions, for example 
drive-removable-media.svg icon is used for unmounted internal hard disk 
partitions).
+ Currently gnome-dev-harddisk-usb.svg icon looks like unmounted partition icon 
drive-removable-media.svg, but in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) this icon is used for 
mounted USB partition, and this misleads users :( I don't know how icons are 
used in Ubuntu Karmic, where gvfs hal monitor isn't used, I've find icon 
choosing code only in glib - 
http://git.gnome.org./cgit/glib/tree/gio/gunixmounts.c , but I'm not 100% sure 
if this is the code, which is used in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) :(
+ 
+ For more info about icon usage look at http://standards.freedesktop.org
+ /icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#devices and
+ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506532#c6
