alsa/mpd/gmpc support for 24 bit audio

[hiro]

Oh well. But then what extension are they in?

The hicolor theme is a placeholder - its size is 8kb.

Code: [Select]

Total: 25 K (1 file, 341 directories)   


Hahaha, something had always made me feel weird about that package on many opportunities, but I just never could pinpoint down what...

Oh well. But then what extension are they in?

Any that has them

As mentioned, gnome-icon-theme is fairly complete. There are several other icon themes available, in different styles etc, which may or may not have the icons used by a particular app.

Ok, then the icons are not generic I guess.
I found something in /usr/local/share/gmpc/icons

The extension 'shared-mime-info.tcz' is required for the GMPC icons to appear. Should this be a dependency somewhere?

[tinypoodle]

IMHO thats sounds more like a candidate for a recommendation in .info file than a mandatory dependency.

[TaoTePuh]

I'm confused. I have tested this with "base norestore" and agree to gavs - with shared-mime-info.tcz, all icons will displayed.

What should I do? Adding shared-mime-info as a dependency is no problem for me. But then we get problems somewhere else?

[TaoTePuh]

Can someone please explain why the icons are displayed when the extension "shared-mime-info" was loaded? This extension still contains no icons, right?

.info says :

Description: Database for common mime types.

I bring mime types with very different things in context.

 

[gavs]

I believe the icons are in /usr/local/share/gmpc/icons. I viewed some of the png files and these are the icons that appear in gmpc when shared-mime-info is loaded.

I do not have experience with mime, but it seems that the database of common mime types may be used by an application, like gmpc, or by a desktop, like gtk, to associate the file containing the data with it's respective application command. The specification page fore shared-mime
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec
has links to 'GTK+ file selector' as well as 'Icon theme specification'. I am not competent to understand how these are implemented. Maybe somebody else who knows can give a simple explanation.

[TaoTePuh]

I agree, probably there is used some mapping functionality of shared-mime-info by gmpc.

I also found some information in the net (e.g. freeBSD) that shared-mime-info is a dependency for running gmpc.

I will update the .dep file and submit.

Thank you for your efforts.
