Would be useful with also drive-removable-media-compactflash drive-removable-media-smartmedia drive-removable-media-sdmmc drive-removable-media-memorystick drive-removable-media-xd otherwise most users will have 4 or more identical drive-harddisk-media icons for a e.g. 4in1 card readers which are very common. It just looks odd, see below.. > media-dvd media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvda media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvdram media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvdrplus media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvdrminus media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvdrwplus media-cdrom > media-dvd-dvdrwminus media-cdrom Need media-dvd-dvdrwplusdl too > media-flash-xd media-removable-media I'm curious how you detect xd card readers. At least HAL don't know about these yet though it should be a trivial enhancement... Of course, we'd need to teach gnome-vfs about it (cf. hal_icon_mapping) but also pretty trivial.. > media-zip media-removable-media > media-jar media-removable-media (I assume you mean s/jar/jaz/) I'd say we also need drive-removable-media-zip drive-removable-media-jaz Basically I think that every time we have a drive that accept only one type of media we need a specific drive icon for it. Optical drives are an exception here (they can share drive-removable-optical). Otherwise you'll get this dull window on standard consumer desktop PC (with a few external drives) http://freedesktop.org/~david/icons-unmounted.png and with media (I don't have any SmartMedia and the MemoryStick slot appears to be broken or maybe it's just usb-storage. I also don't have the ntfs driver for the HP_PAVILLON one. Note also that Fedora uses the floppy icon Zip - upstream GNOME don't...) http://freedesktop.org/~david/icons-mounted.png Note that some 4in1 card readers (notably I've seen this on a HP multifunction printer/cardreader/scanner/copier) has like four slots but only exposes it as one drive on Linux at least. Thus we may also want drive-removable-media-manyformats which in one artistic vision could include both CF, SM, SDMMC, MemoryStick, XD pointers... Thinking about it... it might be useful to have two icons for USB keychain drives.. Say drive-removable-media-usbkeychain for the drive and media-removable-media-usbkeychain for the volumes on the drives.. Also see the hal_icon_mapping array in GNOME VFS here http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-vfs/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c?rev=1.24&view=markup for icons that GNOME presently rely on plus icons that I think are missing. You seem to leave out floppy, zip, jaz icons but I guess that is intentional as these are additions, yes?
