Ok, you have convinced me. > Here are some numbers (getting those was more complicated than > expected, the process gave birth to http://amnoid.de/icns/ > makeicns.html :-P). Nice! It seems almost strange that there isn't such an app already. > So, here's a proposed icon distribution: > > * Hi-Res (512, 128, 32, 16): For the generic document icon and for the > document icon for vim files. (2 icons) > > * Low-Res (128, 32, 16) for: txt, tex, h, c, m, mm, c++, java, html, > xml, javascript, perl, python, php, ruby, css, haskell, ps, erlang, > lisp, scheme, yaml, plist (23 icons) Personally, I would like to add diff and patch with one shared icon to this list (and maybe sh as well, but with its own icon of course). I think it is ok if 'mm' uses the same icon as 'm', but maybe this is a bit confusing? I removed plist on purpose a while back because it should associate with the Property List Editor app (these files may be binary), so please make sure it is not in the patched Info.plist. As Ben also pointed out: do we need an entry for 'ps'? I would think you'd be more likely to open such files with Preview. (Or does it mean something other than PostScript?) > * Generic icon: fortran, sh, diff, flash, asp, bib, c#, csv, tsv, cgi, > dtd, dylan, fscript, ini, io, prop, log, wiki, sql, tcl, vcard, > vbasic, ics, jsp, log, xsl (26 filetypes) I don't know of any reason why we can't add as many filetype associations as we'd want (with the generic icon) so I'd say anything goes in this list as long as its not a format that may be binary (like plist) or that is usually not opened with a text editor (like ps). > * Think about removing those filetypes: gtd, bsh, cfdg, cfg, inc > (merge with "h"?) (5 icons) The only time I've used 'inc' was in connection with assembly language...where is it supposed to be used? I don't know any of the others (cfg I guess is some generic config format but I don't know what or who uses it). > This distribution would require about 120kB * 2 + 23 * 36kB = 1MB for > icons. Is that ok or still too much? Would someone want to move some > filetype into a different group? Around 1 MB is fine by me. Thanks for taking the time to sort these things out Nico!
