Andre Miranda <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #18 from Andre Miranda <[email protected]> --- Okay, late to the party, I'll to summarize my point of view after a couple of talks with Alexander: I like this feature, the way it was proposed is really simple, however since we are already using gvfs, optionally as a matter of fact, however I dare say the majority of Thunar users have gvfs installed (I might be very mistaken), thus probably it's not a good idea to introduce a new standard[1]. Alex's proposal is to use g_file_info_get_attribute_stringv as it's already used for emblems[2]. Then have an option in the folder's properties dialog to set/clear the path to an image. Power users could automate this with a script using gvfs-set-attribute or "gio set". All in all it's still quite simple, easy for users to discover and interop with Nautilus is a plus. By the way, I think this should be restricted to folders, it's not wise to freely change the icon of files, e.g. an executable that looks like a picture. Anyway, for that we already have .desktop files. @hyperion, does this approach satisfy your needs? Would you be kind enough to rework your patch with at least the chuck that reads the image path with g_file_info_get_attribute_stringv (please)? 1 - https://xkcd.com/927/ 2 - https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/thunar/thunar-file.c#n3366 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
