Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-167:
-------------------------------------------

Currently the icons are choosen depending on the RDN attribute type (cn, ou, 
...). This was done because when expanding the tree we only fetch the DNs of 
the child entries, but not its attributes and even not the objectClass 
attribute. The reason were performance issues and less network traffic.

But I think in the meantime this has changed. The objectClass attribute is 
always returned because we need it to see whether an entry is a subentry, alias 
or referral. So it should be possible to determine the icon by objectClass. And 
of course a configurable and extendible mapping between objectClasses and icons 
would be cool.

> It would be pretty cool to map various objectClasses to special icons in 
> Studio so when you browse 
> any directory really you can see special icons for those entries of that 
> objectClass like people etc. It
> would be nice to have some configuration capability for this.
> However I would really love it if we had this capability to be able to browse 
> the schema partition and
> recognize metaSchema, metaObjectClass and other meta objectClasses for schema 
> entities.  However
> a generalized approach would probably be best.
