Patch to show hard disk system icon (580 bytes, patch)
2011-08-15 02:59 UTC, Timothy Arceri 		committed Details | Review

Description Timothy Arceri 2011-08-01 02:12:50 UTC 
In an effort to create a more user friendly experince for those that have a large number of partions it has been suggested that the Filesystem icon be different in order to be easily identified. The idea is a Distro can apply its logo over the standard disk image. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/301035

An icon named drive-harddisk-system has already been created for this purpose 
See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620239

In order to have the computer:/// logo consitant with Nauitlus a small change is needed to be made to the gvfs daemon.
See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586488

A patch has been submitted but need to be updated to use drive-harddisk-system

Patch to show hard disk system icon

I have attached a patch to use the drive-harddisk-system icon to help identify the File System drive.

This icon has been updated in Nautilus 3.1.4 it would be nice to get this patch applied too. How do I get the attention of the developers to get this reviewed?

Fair enough, patch committed to get consistent experience on the desktop. We don't explicitly expose computer:// anymore but the icon is still visible on Nautilus' pathbar.

    computer: Use 'drive-harddisk-system' as File System icon
    
    Ideally we would like to check for recent gnome-icon-theme-extras
    package but there's no pkg-config file.
