This issue is still present in FC8's Thunar (xffm replacement) but is now slightly different. If an RPM package is renamed to .rp or .txt then the appropriate icon is used for that extension but both are incorrect for the actual file... (realpix is .rp) However, if no extension is there, or one that is undefined like .r then it will instead use the RPM icon and identify the file as type rpm package. It seems that extensions are trusted as correct if present and defined and otherwise the file's MIME type is used? Intentional or not, this seems to be backwards to me. If the file itself claims a type shouldn't it be used rather than the extension and only trust the extension as correct when its ambiguous? Nautilus recognizes the file to be RPM in all the above cases and the package icon is always used. Thunar behaves differently and changes the icons based on extension. Filed upstream: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3788 Hey Andrew. I took over the Xfce packages from Than quite a while ago... this bug must have been filed before then and not gotten changed over to me. I just happened to notice it go by. Thank you for updating things and filing upstream... Yes I filed it long ago and forgot about it since I wasn't using XFCE anymore. I should mention that this is not only an icon issue... if an RPM package is double clicked while its name has the .rp extension Thunar will attempt to open the file with VLC media player (on my system). This is clearly not correct behavior (I'll clarify that upstream too). Benny at xfce closed this upstream as invalid since it is expected behavior, and says the difference in nautilus and thunar should disappear when thunar is using GVfs (I guess that is planned). So I suppose this is deferred to later. |
