Well, I wouldn't consider any other mimetype icon to be appropriate for empty files. Imagine a file manager that displays the text-x-generic icon for an empty file - this indicates that the file has contents, which is misleading. Are there any examples of file managers (or file listings, like in the file-open dialog) that do not use a separate icon for empty files? _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
