😳 There is a lot!
I'll think about them tomorrow.

@ubuntujaggers I think there's plenty of work for two. 😋

[madsrh]

I know 😅 Again, some of these are pretty crazy. We can add a 30.04 tag?

[Feichtmeier]

We can just add it to backlog 🤷
And you use this issue to manage individual issues and manage the ToDo list.
I would then create an issue for each individual icon and link them to the ToDo list entries.
PR's can have multiple Closes #123142342XYZ but for issues I would really stick to 1 icon 1 issue to handle it easier.

hi,
could we also add text/x-xmi to the list as well ?

OFC @Muqtxdir ! Can you edit the list yourself? Feel free to add more, if you come across any thing we're missing

umm, i don't think I have the permission to edit

[Muqtxdir]

also add application/x-r-project to the list from #2374 😅 (I forgot to mention that)

[Jupi007]

I also added the application/x-msdownload (.dll) mimetype to the list:

[stuarthayhurst]

Would symlinking application/x-msdownload to the icon for application/x-mswinurl work?

[Jupi007]

Would symlinking application/x-msdownload to the icon for application/x-mswinurl work?

I don't think so, this icon symbolize a link or an url.
IMO we should use the application-octet-stream icon as dlls are binaries files.

[stuarthayhurst]

I made 2 mimetype icons for my icon theme in Yaru's style and was wondering if anyone wants them upstreamed? If anyone's interested, I'll do it later and submit a pull. (They are svgs, GitHub didn't like me uploading them

[madsrh]

Nice work @Dragon8oy 👍

[Jupi007]

It's very nice of you, thanks @Dragon8oy 👍

I just have one question: what's the name of the related mimetypes?

[stuarthayhurst]

They're:

• application-vnd.ms-publisher
• application-x-qemu-disk

[Jupi007]

Thanks 🙂
The ms-publisher icon is good.
But about the qemu one, we use the cardiogram pictogram only for virtualbox mimetypes. IMO you should replace it by something else (a symbolic version of qemu logo by example).

Color: #ff6600

[stuarthayhurst]

Thanks for the feedback, I've finished the publisher icon in your format and generated the bitmaps, I'll work on the qemu one and submit a pull tomorrow. Thanks :)

[stuarthayhurst]

Thoughts?

[Jupi007]

Thoughts?

Much better! Make the pictogram a bit smaller (it is too close to the right edge actually IMO) and it will be perfect 👍

[stuarthayhurst]

Which colour did you prefer? Personally, I thought the dark grey was better.

[Jupi007]

Perfect 😃
Personally I also prefer dark grey.

[madsrh]

Thoughts?

How does it look with a solid fill? Similar to the snap icon

[stuarthayhurst]

[Jupi007]

Maybe also add an eye, what do you think of 🤔

[stuarthayhurst]

I'm not too sure which I prefer so far. I tried it with an eye without a fill, and it didn't look right, but this looks much better than that attempt...

It is the best version IMO 👍

[stuarthayhurst]

I'm happy with it, but I'll wait for some more input before I submit a PR, thanks guys :)

[Jupi007]

thanks guys :)

No, thank you 🙂

[stuarthayhurst]

These are the two, I'll submit whichever your team prefer :)

[Jupi007]

Definitively prefer the solid one ;)

[bryce-carson]

I'm not much for graphic design, or working with templates in Inkscape, but I've created an icon for myself for R Markdown files.

The shape of the icon is definitely not Yaru, nor Adwaita, but comes instead from the hexagonal shapes that R Studio likes to use for their different little projects (like Tidyverse, knitR, readR, etc.).
