[Icon request] I made some icons for yall (quake related)

[lavenderdotpet]

for .map files was mainly made for trenchbroom a quake map editor but any thing other games that use .map for the maps this icon should work well enough (example halo2)

for .bsp files the compiled map format quake uses so this one is just for quake related file

a document icon for quake related documents i use it for .dems the quake demo file type which is used for recording a video of sorts in the quake engine

.config .conf .cfg a general icon for any file that uses one of these extensions quake uses .cfg for its configs so wanted to make an icon for it

.plasticity this one is for the plasticity cad software

Looks nice. Could you draw icons for other sizes and create PR?

To find the icon names for mimetype run for each filetype:

gio info -a standard::icon PATH/to/file.ext

[lavenderdotpet]

oh didnt know icons were dif at dif sizes

[lavenderdotpet]

likely going to be a while till i get to it if i ever dont have the energy often

@MissLavender-LQ

likely going to be a while till i get to it if i ever dont have the energy often

In this case, post the output of this command for each type of file to get the icon names:

gio info -a standard::icon PATH/to/file.ext

Because this issue doesn't look like an icon request.

also i had forgot to send one for quake texture wads files attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-wad.svg, application-x-doom-wad, package-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-wad.svg-symbolic, application-x-doom-wad-symbolic, package-x-generic-symbolic

Seems, these filetypes are exists only on your system:

• attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg, application-x-kdeuser2, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser2-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic
• attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg, application-x-kdeuser1, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser1-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic

The others have valid icon names:

• application-x-quake-bsp
• text-x-quakemap
• application-cfg-config
• application-x-doom-wad

[lavenderdotpet]

sorry yeah i had set up associations of the file icons i made i dont fully understand the icon system on linux

[lavenderdotpet]

yeah application-x-quake is just a generic icon i made for quake files that i ended up using for .dem aka demo file so maybe application-x-dem

application-cfg-config should probably be text-x-config since they r text files

and since doom and quake wads are different format it probably should be application-x-quake-wad

[lavenderdotpet]

application-x-plasticity with plasticity being a very new program it makes sense that there wouldnt be one

[lavenderdotpet]

i think im not fully understanding give me a sec

[SmartFinn]

i dont fully understand the icon system on linux

This's not as hard as you think. There is a common MIME types database shared-mime-info that contains magic strings to detect filetypes, mimetypes, and icon names.

To search by this database, we use the following command:

wget -qO- https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/plain/data/freedesktop.org.xml.in | less

Third-party programs can register their own mimetype by placing xml files to /usr/share/mime/ ($XGD_DATA_DIRS/mime).

If mimetype is missing in shared-mime-info and there is no app that register it, we don't add icon for it.

Seems, these filetypes are exists only on your system:

* `attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg, application-x-kdeuser2, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-quake.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser2-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic`

* `attributes: standard::icon: /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg, application-x-kdeuser1, application-x-generic, /home/lavender/Bin/fileicons/application-x-plasticity.svg-symbolic, application-x-kdeuser1-symbolic, application-x-generic-symbolic`

The others have valid icon names:

* `application-x-quake-bsp`

* `text-x-quakemap`

* `application-cfg-config`

* `application-x-doom-wad`

these 3 shouldnt be in the offical data base since i added them manually

plasticity isnt actually set up on my system currently so thats why it prob doesnt look correct and the other one im not sure

ah i see so yall wouldnt add any of these icons
