If it's not, then that makes my point. Well, it //is// very special cased. :) But I think the better question is whether it's useful or nice to have. The whole point of this patch is to gain the ability for KIO to automatically set appropriate default icons for common-but-not-XDG directories that people might create. Sure, people can already set custom icons for those folders themselves if they want. It's just a few clicks. This patch simply provides a mechanism for KIO to make it automatic. Have you ever had one of those moments when you go to do something that you expect to be a manual, multi-step process but the software anticipates what you're going to do and does it for you? It's those little "aha, I love that they thought of this!" moments that make people fall in love with software. That's all this is trying to help facilitate. :) REPOSITORY R241 KIO REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D17167 To: ngraham, #frameworks, cfeck, broulik, dfaure Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
