Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Since having gone to great pain to create a set of gEDA mime icons in
time for Gutsy, I'm rather distraught to find Nautilus is now ignoring
them in hardy...
This is due to an issue with the fallback order of icons with the GIO
backend in nautilus. For a given mimetype file, e.g. application-x-geda-
schematic (for which there is an icon installed in the fallback, hicolor
theme by the package libgeda-common), there are many possible mimetypes
returned from GIO / tried by nautilus:
"application-x-geda-schematic"
"gnome-mime-application-x-geda-schematic"
"application-x-generic"
"text-x-preview"
"text-x-generic"
My machine has the default Gnome icon theme set. Nautilus passes the
above list of names to gtk_icon_theme_choose_icon(), however the
fallback ordering is along the list nautilus presented, not into the
fallback themes.
This means, (continuing the example), for a gEDA schematic, Nautilus
will prefer to use the text-x-preview icon it can find in that theme,
than the very specific mimetype icon which the gEDA suite installed in
what is supposed to be the fallback theme.
I've hacked up a trial piece of code to try this another way, searching
for each mime-type / content-type name one by one, only continuing to
the more generic names if no icon was found. Seems to fix the issue for
me, even if the code isn't pretty.
Is there any chance of getting this fixed prior to Hardy?
