Description Shriramana Sharma 2008-09-18 07:09:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hello. As I can see on /usr/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/mimetypes on my KDE 4.1.1 system, some compressed filetypes have distinctive marks on their icons: DEB, TGZ, JAR, RPM etc. 

While I recognize that these are (with the exception of JAR) commonly used distribution package filetypes, why can't you provide similar marks on bz2, gz, zip etc filetypes too, so that just by looking at the icon we can tell the kind of archive?

Some icons have merely a box, some have a box within a zipper, some a zipper only. I observe the following consistency:

box only: pure archive, no compression
zipper only: pure compression, no archive
box within zipper: archived and then compressed

But on top of this, if you could add small marks regarding the actual format, BZ2 GZ etc, it would be very useful.

As breeze had a lot of mimetype icons and I synced the mimetypes with oxygen I thought this bug is fixed. please check and when you need something it will be a pleasure to fix it in oxygen and breeze icons.
