Description Jens Knutson 2003-07-26 23:26:49 UTC
Especially for files with several emblems, there are icons whose emblems
are overlapped by the text of the icon, or even by the edge of the Nautilus
window.

I have attached screenshots to demonstrate both effects.

Problem still isn't fixed in G2.4, adding GNOMEVER2.4 and GNOMEVER2.5
keywords.

  The emblem positioning is weird/wrong.

  <alex> ross: the emblem positioning is interesting though. It seems
  like it didn't read the .icon files or something which has the emblem
  placement positions

Comment 9 Christian Neumair 2005-08-25 20:37:14 UTC
The window overlapping issue should be fixed. The text overlap will require that
we make the emblems belong to the icon bounds. This involves invalidating the
icon size upon emblem change and such ... . Doesn't sound too hard, though.
Comment 10 Christian Neumair 2005-11-13 14:41:42 UTC
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-November/msg00023.html yields
some emblem sizing fixes for zoom levels != 100 %.
Comment 11 Thomas Winwood 2006-02-03 23:48:46 UTC
Bizarre placement for emblems is still an issue in 2.13.90 (Ubuntu) - they appear now in the top right corner which looks ugly; they ought to by default appear bottom left IMO.

That said, the Human theme DID until recently place them in bottom left initially anyway. It seems to recently have stopped working, and now emblems appear in their ugly top right corner.
Comment 12 Christian Neumair 2006-02-04 07:55:31 UTC
Thomas: Icon placement is up to the icon theme.

Comment 14 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-08-02 13:03:14 UTC
'Backgrounds and Emblems' have now been removed from nautilus master, see [1].
As it shouldn't happen with programmatically-added emblems, such as those coming from extensions, I think it's safe to close this bug as OBSOLETE. Please reopen if I missed something.
