Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wine
I'm building a desktop entry loader application and had a problem importing the wine .desktop entries. Each file e.g. wine-notepad.desktop reference a wine.xpm which isn't included in the package. The offending excerpt is: [Desktop Entry] Icon=wine.xpm Obviously icon theme authors aren't creating an icon specific to wine. So I feel it's the package maintainer's responsibility to include this image. Hopefully in a variety of sizes, perhaps in png format, or use an svg instead. So wine.xpm isn't a great choice in the text file - 'wine' would suffice with the system searching for an xpm, png or svg. Not all implementations support each of the 3 formats The icon theme spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec) states that 3rd party apps should assume that a hicolor theme exists and if only providing one size it should be 48x48. At the very least then an icon at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/wine.xpm would provide the necessary feature. ** Affects: wine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Wine package does not include referenced wine.xpm https://launchpad.net/bugs/88285 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
