GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 753761
map plugin uses outdated icon to mark image location

Created attachment 309459 [details] [review] Patch that makes the proposed icon substitution In eog-map-plugin.c, the icon "gnome-mime-image" is used to mark the position of images on the map display. This icon is only available in the deprecated/outdated module gnome-icon-theme. Suggest changing to either a custom icon or one taken from adwaita-icon-theme to avoid the dependency on gnome-icon-theme. For instance, "camera-photo-symbolic" might be a more suitable choice. Trivial patch attached that makes this substitution.
Nice catch! I went for "image-x-generic" as replacement though. It comes with Adwaita which means the existing GTK+ dependency should enough. Also we can the UI freeze break as it is the same image (at least in Adwaita). The symbolic icons also are a bit problematic if you have shot several images pretty close together. As the icons are transparent they accumulate to a black blob on the map. This is a problem with how the position on the map is currently shown, but we shouldn't make it worse for now. commit a00f6f163a3f4fd6fe8ff2d821fae286e3a872cf Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Mon Aug 24 19:37:16 2015 +0200 map: Use a non-deprecated image icon "gnome-mime-image" requires the deprecated gnome-icon-theme package. Use "image-x-generic" instead, which is part of adwaita-icon-theme. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753761 --- This problem has been fixed in our software repository.
