Same Icon for all File types

[maulikg]

Hi, was just going through the Android App would suggest if possible to have icons for each mimetype as we have in the webapp.

[przybylski]

We thought about and it is decided to use different icons for different filetype, only problem is that we need to find some elegant and open icons which we can use for comercial purposes.

[maulikg]

We can use the ones that we have on the webapp those are amazing :)

Is the code already present?

Using those from webapp is not an option, because the one used in web app are very low resoluion: 16x16px. On android devices we need a bit bigger icons.

We can use the icons provided on gnome look etc. On Nov 1, 2012 12:59 PM, "Bartek" notifications@github.com wrote:

Please let me know in case you need any help for the icons. Will be glad to contribute.

We would need some CC Licenced icons which follows Android Design Guide, section Iconography http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html if you know about any icons which follows those guidelines then feel free to provide one.

How about icons that follow the guide for action bar icons? I think it would look nicer, also there would be a higher chance we find an appropriate set.

This becomes a general issue also in the web interface because of the retina displays which also need higher resolution icons.

What would be better is to just show thumbnails of the files. Is that possible?

[przybylski]

Thumbnails are not possible right now, because there is no API for thumbnails. This is a task for Google Code-In 2012

Aren’t the current svg icons also just displayed 16*16 in the list? They are bigger in the detail view, but whatever.

[przybylski]

I would like to use those in core/img/filetypes to keep consistency between filetype icons in web and mobile interface, but those in core/img/filetypes are just 16x16 which looks super ugly in android interface

I am searching for the same which folder do I push the icons?

Planning the Oxygen Icons from KDE Project. Please let me know the resolution which we are looking out for! thanks!!

Seems that license of Oxygen icon is not a problem.

Current resolutions are: 72x72 , 48x48, 36x36 for hdpi, mdpi and ldpi screens; we should add also 96x96 for xhdpi devices.

[maulikg]

Where do I upload the same?

[untitaker]

Meh, I'm not a big fan of oxygen. I think faenza or elementary would be better.

[jancborchardt]

Oxygen icons don’t fit the style of ownCloud, and also in general look way too flashy. We should use Elementary icons: https://launchpad.net/elementaryicons (GNU GPLv2), as they also inspired the forms for the app icons.

[davivel]

@jancborchardt, let's reactivate this. What version of Elementary are you proposing, 2, 3 or 4?

[jancborchardt]

Just answered a mail from @rjimenez regarding that. He suggested taking the same icons which the iOS app uses for now. I’m fine with that as they are definitely better than the current ones.

As for long term solution, Elementary is probably better as it looks more universal. And if we use it, then the latest version @davivel.

Icons for each mimetype have been included on the latest versions, over 1.3.20
