GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 684957
Encrypted partitions are not remote folders
Last modified: 2018-05-24 14:39:16 UTC
In the left pane of Files, my two local encrypted partitions are displayed as if they were remote folders [places/folder-remote-symbolic.svg]. Browsing this (great!) icon theme, looks like there isn’t an adapted icon for now. So, I don’t know if it’s an icon-theme issue (more generic strange-partition icon), a both nautilus&icone-theme one (encrypted-device icon), or if it’s a nautilus only issue (use folder icon or so for local partition, encrypted or not).
We don't have a specific icon for encrypted folder, but I don't see why it doesn't use the normal folder istead of the remote one. Sounds like a nautilus/gvfs bug.
It's not only for encrypted partitions, I see it here for my Windows NTFS partition as well
Also ISOs mounted with Disks, and partitions on usb storage devices.
-> glib I believe what you're getting is the default gio fallback icon - for other circumstances you would get a more specific icon (see e.g. [1], [2] or [3]). I think this is the icon that was deemed appropriate for such a scenario by Jon and Jakub when the code landed - adding them to the CC.

Um, any idea why Files displays the icons correctly when it's running as root? (Normal Ext4 partitions BTW)
