Public bug reported:
I am reporting this as a bug because I feel that it is a critical issue.
I am in the situation of having multiple documents in a folder of
varying types. I quite often have duplicate documents in odt, pdf and
ms doc format with identical filenames apart from the extension. I find
it very difficult when I open a folder and all the documents use the
same icon, I need to read the name of every document to find the one I
need. I should be able to open the folder and immediately recognise all
the ms excel documents and only have to scan these for the document I
need.
I perceive this as a serious usability issue which is relatively easily
correctable. There are currently very few complete icon themes
available, the only ones I have found are the OSX theme, the Slick theme
and NuoveXT themes which have very easily discernible mimetype icons.
Perhaps in the short term we could use the mime icons from one of these
themes.
