[rox-devel] Feature Requests

[Greg S. <gs...@fr...>]

Hello,

On my system, most of the icons I use are PNG's.  I notice that ROX
does recognize the image format, even if I simply copy the icon to an
application directory and rename it to "AppIcon.XPM" without converting
the image format itself.

Perhaps the ".XPM" (or ".png" for the ".DirIcon.png" method) should be
optional?  Rox already knows what is (or should be) in the file.  I
just don't like stuffing ".XPM" on something that isn't, I guess :)  

This goes with my second request, which deals with MIME type handling.

Instead of basing MIME type on filename (Last I checked ROX doesn't
even use gnome's regexp typing?), it would be nice if done based on the
contents of the file.  This is the way KDE's KFM used to work, and it
is very nice.  This way no matter what your file is named, the proper
application and icon associations are used.

One final request is to somehow enable different appearances for each
ROX-filer directory window, to include fonts, font colors, preferred
view (icon size & details) and background color/image.	Not that
important, but it is a nice way to have visual cues as to what you have
open on the desktop.

Thanks again for such a fast, elegant, and useful file and application
manager!
