Projects/Oxygen/namingSpec/actions
Only partially ready for consumption. We already found out about which Oxygen icons already conform to the spec, but the ones that don't conform are not all listed in here yet, and there's not yet a plan at the moment on how to proceed with those.
Specification compliance of icon names

* suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
it's not really suited to be a standard icon
To do for Oxygen
Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's actions/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification
address-book-new
The icon used for the action to create a new address book.
(or "new-address-book", depending on the outcome
of the discussion.)
appointment-new
The icon used for the action to create a new appointment
in a calendaring application. (or "new-appointment",
depending on the outcome of the discussion)
document-page-setup
The icon for the page setup action of a document editor.
edit-find-replace
The icon for the find and replace action.
edit-select-all
The icon for the select all action.
format-text-direction-ltr
The icon for the left-to-right text formatting action.
format-text-direction-rtl
The icon for the right-to-left formatting action.
help-about
The icon for the About item in the Help menu.
(Editor's note: not used in KDE, probably a copy of
the "(i)" icon is sufficient.)
help-faq
The icon for the FAQ item in the Help menu.
(Editor's note: not used in KDE either, at the moment.)
insert-link
The icon for the insert link action of an application.
insert-object
The icon for the insert object action of an application.
mail-mark-important
The icon for the mark as important action of an
electronic mail application.
mail-mark-junk
The icon for the mark as junk action of an
electronic mail application.
mail-mark-read
The icon for the mark as read action of an
electronic mail application.
mail-mark-unread
The icon for the mark as unread action of an
electronic mail application.
mail-send-receive
The icon for the send and receive action of an
electronic mail application.
object-flip-horizontal
The icon for the action to flip an object horizontally.
object-flip-vertical
The icon for the action to flip an object vertically.
view-sort-ascending
The icon used for the "Sort Ascending" item in the
application's "View" menu, or in a button for
changing the sort method for a list.
view-sort-descending
The icon used for the "Sort Descending" item in the
application's "View" menu, or in a button for
changing the sort method for a list.
Summary of the suggested changes and additions
The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.
archive-extract
The icon used for the action that extracts files and directories
from an archive.
archive-insert
The icon used for the action that inserts files and directories
into an archive.
archive-remove
The icon used for the action that removes files and directories
from an archive.
dialog-apply
The icon used for the "Apply" button that might appear
in dialog windows.
edit
The icon for the generic edit action.
(Rationale: There are a lot of things that need to be edited:
bookmarks, contacts, todos, away messages, fill/stroke colors,
app specific item properties of any kind, ...
There should be a generic edit icon as a common ground
and fallback for these use cases.)
help-contextual
The icon for the contextual help / "What's this" icon
in the Help menu.
insert-table
The icon for the insert table action of an application.
mail-receive
The icon for the receive action of an
electronic mail application.
mail-reply-sender -> mail-reply
(Rationale: In order to support more reply methods than
the expected ones. KMail, at least, has "Reply" as
"intelligent reply" - automatically do the right thing -
and also "Reply to all", "Reply to author" and
"Reply to mailing list". The latter is not in the spec,
and doesn't need to be, but in order to enable
mail-reply-list, we need a mail-reply fallback.)
system-switch-user
The icon used for the "Switch User" item in the
desktop's panel application.
system-search -> system-find
The icon used for the "Find Files/Folders" item in the
desktop's panel application.
(Rationale: For consistency - edit-find also uses Find,
and there's no good reason to use Search here.)
tab-detach
The icon used for the "Detach Tab" action.
tab-duplicate
The icon used for the "Duplicate Tab" action.
tab-new
The icon used for the "New Tab" action.
tab-close
The icon used for the "Close Tab" action.
zoom-fit-height
The icon used for the "Zoom to Height" item
in the application's "View" menu.
zoom-fit-width
The icon used for the "Zoom to Width" item
in the application's "View" menu.
zoom-fit-best (instead of zoom-best-fit)
