Description Tadeusz Cantwell 2010-10-01 10:42:14 UTC 
The icon for html,  css, javascript and php files are treated inconsistently by nautilus.

Firstly, any of these files that were not created in the host OS displays a portion of the text inside the file, instead of displaying an icon as happens when they are created locally.

If a css file is created in the OS then it is given an icon that is a like a document with details. This is kept when I save the file. When I reboot the computer the icon then reverts to displaying text.

For a html file it is the same as above, except the default icon (the same as php) changes to displaying text when it is saved.

If a php or javascript document is created it keeps the icon on save and reboot. However if they are created on another OS they do not have the icon applied and just show the some text in the file.

Nautilus should be able to apply a consistent icon to these types of files reguardless of place of creation or if they are saved or unsaved.

This is using 10.10 development branch of ubuntu. It has been an issue in previous versions of ubuntu.

The default theme does not display mini text preview inside the icons now. Some non-GNOME icon themes still do this however. As for the inconsistency, I'm not sure. Perhaps an application is caching thumbnails for the file?

Does this still occur?

At the time I was using Gedit. I'm using ubuntu, so I haven't used Gnome 3.

Let's assume this to be OBSOLETE. Please reopen if this is not the case.
