    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

     file-broken              -> rework into emblems/emblem-unreadable.
                                 Currently only in use by apps/libs as
                                 "image could not be loaded" substitute.
     folder                   OK with the current spec, but it
                                 really belongs to mimetypes as
                                 inode-directory *, in order to
                                 follow the shared MIME info standard.
     folder-home              -> user-home
     folder-red,
     folder-blue,
     folder-brown,
     folder-cyan,
     folder-green,
     folder-grey,
     folder-orange,
     folder-violet,
     folder-yellow            -> Keep for now, but try to bring up some
                                 substitute functionality, like tinting
                                 folders by code, or putting the regular
                                 folder on a colored background.
     folder-bookmarks,
     folder-development,
     folder-html,                
     folder-image,
     folder-important,
     folder-locked,
     folder-print,
     folder-sound,
     folder-tar,
     folder-txt,
     folder-video             -> svn rm
                                 (emulate with folder + emblem overlay)
     link                     -> emblems/emblem-symbolic-link
                                 (blow up to the full icon size)
     network-wired            -> network-workgroup
     network-local            -> svn rm
     trashcan-empty-alt       -> svn rm, or move to alternative/
     user-trash               OK
     user-trash-full          OK **
    
     * 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 places/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

     folder-remote
       The icon used for normal directories on a remote filesystem.
    
     network-server
       The icon used for individual host machines under the
       “Network Servers” place in the file manager.
       (Editor's note: a computer in a network.)
    
     start-here
       The icon used by the desktop's main menu for accessing places,
       applications, and other features. (Editor's note: Seems like
       we want to move apps/kmenu to places/start-here.)
    
     user-desktop
       The icon for the special “Desktop” directory of the user.
    

    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.

     folder -> mimetypes/inode-directory
       ...also, include more explanation about how the icon naming
       specification interacts with the shared MIME info specification,
       and which mimetype icons from there should really be in a
       minimal icon theme like the ones that the naming spec defines.
    
     network-workgroup -> network-local
       The icon for local networks and workgroups within the network.
    

    Stuff that needs to be done in the code

    • Replace root folder occurrences (folder-red) with drive-harddisk?
     (Discuss with kde-usability first.)
    
    • Use folder-remote in remote:/.
