[Icon request] I made some icons for yall (quake related)

[SmartFinn]

Looks nice. Could you draw icons for other sizes and create PR?

To find the icon names for mimetype run for each filetype:

gio info -a standard::icon PATH/to/file.ext

[MissLavender-LQ]

oh
didnt know icons were dif at dif sizes

[MissLavender-LQ]

likely going to be a while till i get to it if i ever dont have the energy often

@MissLavender-LQ

likely going to be a while till i get to it if i ever dont have the energy often

In this case, post the output of this command for each type of file to get the icon names:

gio info -a standard::icon PATH/to/file.ext

Because this issue doesn't look like an icon request.

also i had forgot to send one for quake texture wads files

Seems, these filetypes are exists only on your system:

• attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg, application-x-kdeuser2, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser2-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic
• attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg, application-x-kdeuser1, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser1-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic

The others have valid icon names:

• application-x-quake-bsp
• text-x-quakemap
• application-cfg-config
• application-x-doom-wad

[MissLavender-LQ]

sorry yeah i had set up associations of the file icons i made
i dont fully understand the icon system on linux

[MissLavender-LQ]

yeah application-x-quake is just a generic icon i made for quake files that i ended up using for .dem aka demo file
so maybe application-x-dem

application-cfg-config should probably be text-x-config since they r text files

and since doom and quake wads are different format it probably should be application-x-quake-wad

[MissLavender-LQ]

application-x-plasticity
with plasticity being a very new program it makes sense that there wouldnt be one

[MissLavender-LQ]

i think im not fully understanding give me a sec

[SmartFinn]

i dont fully understand the icon system on linux

This's not as hard as you think. There is a common MIME types database shared-mime-info that contains magic strings to detect filetypes, mimetypes, and icon names.

To search by this database, we use the following command:

wget -qO- https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/plain/data/freedesktop.org.xml.in | less

Third-party programs can register their own mimetype by placing xml files to /usr/share/mime/ ($XGD_DATA_DIRS/mime).

If mimetype is missing in shared-mime-info and there is no app that register it, we don't add icon for it.

Seems, these filetypes are exists only on your system:

* `attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg, application-x-kdeuser2, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser2-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic`

* `attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg, application-x-kdeuser1, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser1-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic`

The others have valid icon names:

* `application-x-quake-bsp`

* `text-x-quakemap`

* `application-cfg-config`

* `application-x-doom-wad`

these 3 shouldnt be in the offical data base since i added them manually

plasticity isnt actually set up on my system currently so thats why it prob doesnt look correct
and the other one im not sure
