Comment #5 on issue 24421 by pierre.lafayette: Feature Request: File & folder icons for FTP and local files as in chrome://downloads http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24421
So I've been looking at this issue for a bit. The problem is that the HTML for the ftp:// directory listing page is generated at the WebKit Glue layer whereas the Icon stuff is way up in the Chromium browser code. Hence we can't use the IconManager to retrieve the icons for the files. Similarly file:// listings are handled in net/url_request which can't depend on Chromium code either. A solution would be to use a DOM ui page for displaying directory listings. What about ChromiumOS' chrome://filebrowse page? Could this used as the all purpose directory listings page somehow? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
