Description Matthew 2010-04-08 16:43:53 UTC 
In the 2.30 release of gnome-icon-theme gnome-fs-regular and application-octet-stream missing are missing. These icon were present in 2.28.

Is this intentional? If so, what would be the equivalent icon to gnome-fs-regular?

Currently thunar defaults to these two icons as fallbacks. Since they aren't present I get an ugly gray file icon thing. :X 

I am simply trying to figure out if this code needs to be changed in thunar or these were missed in packaging.

Thanks!

Looking at legacy-icon-mapping, gnome-fs-regular should be covered by text-x-preview which we seem to lack (it's not in the naming spec). Neither does the (non)specific application-octet-stream. 

I wonder if the easy solution to add text-x-preview as a blank sheet of paper and add the application-octet-stream mapping will bite us in future.

I checked in gnome-icon-theme 2.28 and there is text-x-preview in the theme. It seems that for some reason it was removed in 2.30.

text-x-preview is the backdrop used for nautilus to render the text preview on top for plaintext files. A feature that I personally consider flawed as you don't get enough information on a glance to differentiate two files. Regular thumbnailing/generic type icons would have been better.

git master has the icon re-added so that software looking for the abstract 'generic file' don't break (well). Obviously now people will request to add the clipping rectangle back for the useless function to work in nautilus.
