GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 779507
Reconsider dropping system-file-manager icon
Last modified: 2017-03-10 10:58:59 UTC
You dropped the system-file-manager icon because it's no longer used by Nautilus. However, many (all?) other file managers have this icon name listed in their .desktop. This means that they will be shown with a missing icon on a standard GNOME system without any other icon themes installed. Therefore, please consider adding it back.
system-file-manager is listed here: https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html

Good question. Uses system-file-manger ======================= https://sources.debian.net/src/kde-baseapps/4:16.08.3-1/dolphin/src/dolphin.desktop/?hl=91#L91 https://sources.debian.net/src/kde-baseapps/4:16.08.3-1/konqueror/konqueror.desktop/#L189 https://sources.debian.net/src/caja/1.16.2-2/data/caja.desktop.in.in/#L5 https://github.com/ukui/peony/blob/master/data/peony.desktop.in.in#L5 (Peony is the new fork of caja for UKUI, a new interface from Ubuntu Kylin. Peony is designed to resemble Windows Explorer.) https://sources.debian.net/src/pcmanfm/1.2.5-2/data/pcmanfm.desktop.in/#L3 Does not ======== https://sources.debian.net/src/kde-baseapps/4:16.08.3-1/konqueror/settings/konq/filebehavior.desktop/?hl=5#L5 (It looks like the main konqueror .desktop doesn't use the icon but this one does.) https://sources.debian.net/src/nemo/3.2.2-3/data/nemo.desktop.in.in/#L279 https://sources.debian.net/src/thunar/1.6.11-1/Thunar.desktop.in.in/#L6 Also affected ============= https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/demos/icon-browser/iconbrowserwin.c#n522 Many icon themes assume that they'll be able to override the nautilus app icon. This doesn't seem that important for GNOME; they can just add a symlink. I had to do this for 2 default Ubuntu (Unity) themes and I pinged some of the other Ubuntu flavors for their default icon themes.
