shell script to fix old icon themes to new nautilus/fdo standard (530 bytes, text/plain)

Description Tomasz Sterna 2008-02-01 20:05:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After upgrade to nautilus 2.21.6 nautilus chooses my desktop icons wrong. The folder icon is taken from inherited theme, not current theme, and gnome-terminal icon (placed on desktop) does not have an icon at all. After upgrade to nautilus 2.21.90 problem persists. It worked with nautilus 2.20 fine.

I am using http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta-icons?content=62759 icons with index.theme modified to inherit from http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/nuoveXT+2?content=56625 and I'm seeing nuvoeXT folder icons on desktop, not LiNsta icons.

The original Ubuntu launchpad bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/185769

Steps to reproduce:
Download http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta-icons?content=62759 icons and set it as active theme.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 2 Tomasz Sterna 2008-02-05 22:10:53 UTC 
This is not a duplicate of bug 511592.
It's icon theme related, not icon metadata related.

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/188874 for a longer description of the problem.
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=13646 created a regression with themes created for gnome pre 2.21 that do not comply with freedesktop icon theme standard.
Comment 3 Tomasz Sterna 2008-02-09 18:05:37 UTC 
The folder icon problem is related to nautilus changes to support freedesktop theme standard. I fixed the theme (using symlinks - see attachment).

But gnome-terminal still shows default GTK+ icon (folded paper sheet).

Comment 5 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-12-19 01:08:19 UTC 
I think this is just fixed using recent versions of nautilus and gnome-icon-theme.
Closing as OBSOLETE.
