Hello All, I just committed a major change to Enlightenment File Manager so it will use Efreet to load FreeDesktop.Org (FDO) mime types and associated icons. These icons will come from icon theme set at Settings -> Look -> Icon Theme and existence of icons will thus depend on it. For instance Tango does not provide "folder" icon, but Oxygen (KDE4) is very complete and looks really good. If icons are not found, then it will fallback to E17 theme default, so if you're using Tango you'll keep seeing E17 folder icon and not Tango's.
With that change we can now remove most icons from E17 theme and we should create a freedesktop-compliant set. This is good because we can have KDE and Gnome to use or icons (or at least most of them!) and make look & feel similar, improving usability. So we need artists (Toma? ManoWarrior?) to take care to provide such set. I'd like to ask themers/artists to look at E17 icon usage and try to see if icons could use the standard naming scheme, so we share more. Please see http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html Worth noting that at least on e17 code we still alow .edj icons, not sure about Efreet but we could fix it to allow that as well. With that we can still have nice animated icons using our technology and not restrict to boring PNGs. Last but not least, it's not all happiness. Efreet is potentially not as fast as we hope it could be. The cache needs to be fixed/improved, we need to really speedup mimetype caching and icon finding. So if you find out slow cases, report. If you have coding skills, try to improve. Ask me (k-s) or Nicholas Hughart (mekius) at IRC.
