So my initial, more privately woven attempt to get the Oxygen icons
to adhere better to the Icon Naming Specification [1] didn't quite
work out the way I had hoped for.
Thus, let's take this thing to the artists mailing list
(kde-hardware-devel is CC'd so that Kévin can take part) and try to
get the icon names in line with the spec. With the support of Aaron
and Kévin, who graciously provide their source code updating skills,
it should merely be a question of coordinating efforts.
I did a renaming proposal for devices/ (other categories to follow at
aKademy or sooner), find it attached in text file form.
So, there's two questions:
(a) Are the proposed name changes ok for you? Can they be improved?
If so, How? ...and once there's a consensus on these questions: (b)
What needs to be done for renaming all of the mentioned icons? Who
will do what?
Input is highly appreciated. I should have taken this to the list at
the time I did the original file, but there's still enough time to
get this sorted out in time for KDE 4.0. Until then, all of the icons
should be compatible to the specification.
[1] The freedesktop.org Icon Naming Specification:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
...or the only slightly, but still modified version in fd.o's CVS
repository:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/icon-theme/default-icon-theme/spec/icon-naming-spec.xml?revision=1.17&view=markup
I see a serious problem here.
The question is: what is a device?
This has been a conceptual problem with KDE3 and we need to fix this.
I submit that devices are *drives* not the disks that are in them. This
wasn't really an issue with floppies -- we proceed on the presumption
that you can only put one thing in them, but it is an issue with CDs & DVDs.
We need icons to use for empty CD & DVD drives. The drives still exist
when they don't have a driver in them.
That is, an empty CD drive can not be an audio CD or CD-ROM. That
distinction can only be made when when a disk is in the drive.
It gets more complicated. A CD writer can also have a blank disk in it
which is neither until it has been recorded.
There are a lot of CD formats including video and photo so we might want
to make a distinction with these also.
I think that the situation with a DVD drive is the same: Audio, ROM,
Video, Photo & Blank.
Then we have combination drives which may or may not be writers.
OTOH, if you want to update the attached file, I will use those rules
for renaming icons for now.
