[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1201128] Re: missing icons for .directory files
The fix was entirely inadequate. Just three files, replacing one arbitrarily inappropriate icon with another, and not the ones that people have complained about. There are standard names for these, included within the default Ubuntu theme. Use those. If you really must use some other icon, call it the appropriate thing and then symlink to whatever icon you've pulled out of the hat. It isn't difficult. Failure to do so highlights how little you value the consistency of the user experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-icon-theme in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201128 Title: missing icons for .directory files Status in “gnome-icon-theme” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-menus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Directory files have been shipped with incorrect Icon= fields.

@jbicha: My previous comment reads like an attack on you personally. It wasn't intended to be. I'm grateful that you attempted a fix, even though your approach didn't actually address the problem described in the initial report. The lack of resources and low priority for this kind of papercut issue shows how far the Ubuntu project has departed from the user-focused philosophy that initially made it good.
