We have an 'icon' spec and a 'MIME' spec, and it's not clear which one should define the naming scheme for MIME icons, but it certainly shouldn't be both of them ;-) In the last discussion (linked from the bottom of the MIME spec page), Rodney Dawes said: > "In terms of "fixing" the Shared MIME Info Spec, at some point, I think > the solution is going to just be to make it point at the Icon Naming > Spec for information on how to name icons." That's fine by me. Can someone from GNOME please document what naming scheme you adopted, since it isn't what was agreed previously on this list? For ROX at least, I'm happy to adopt GNOME's system once it's documented and agreed here. -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
