Description Sylvia 2013-03-12 17:38:30 UTC

In Gnome and relatives, I can change the icon of the file A without affecting the other files.
In KDE, I can only change folder icons but not files, picked up one by one.
It would be useful,  if the user could change files icons as in Gnome, so he or she can distinguished in a lot of files of the same type, one or two in special.

(Sorry for my English, I'm a Spanish speaker)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open File Properties of, let's say, "My baby's book.odt"
2.Change the icon of  "My baby's book.odt"
3.See in Desktop or in Dolphin, how this particular file has a different icon, compared with the other files of the same filetype.
Actual Results:  
I can't do anything of this.  File icons can't be changed.

Expected Results:  
Change the icon of this particular file, as I want.

I'm wondering where Gnome stores the information about the icon assigned to a specific file and how it keeps track of it when moving/renaming the file.

Does anyone have details on this?
