xfdesktop doesn't support emblems for .desktop files... thx
I'd like to add that xfdesktop doesn't seem to support emblems _at all_. The Properties dialog accessible from the desktop doesn't allow to set one. When one sets the emblem FROM THUNAR for, say, a folder on the Desktop, the emblem is never displayed on the desktop. Desktop is one of the places where emblems would be the most useful (Users tend tu mess up their desktop). Please add emblem support on the desktop. Thanks
Created attachment 4266 Add optional support for custom file icon emblems Adds support to display multiple custom emblems for file icons on the desktop. Regular file icons will display whether it's a symlink or the file is read-only in addition to any emblems the user sets in Thunar. This requires an optional dependency on libtdb to read the metadata.
Created attachment 4273 Add optional support for custom file icon emblems Fixed a crash when an unmounted drive was present as well as clean up a small memory leak.
Created attachment 4274 Add optional support for custom file icon emblems Oops, accidently set xfdesktop_file_utils_get_icon to not use the emblem_list, fixed.
Created attachment 4279 Add optional support for custom file icon emblems xfdesktop --version now prints if custom file emblems are enabled.
Can't we use GIcon there?
Created attachment 4391 Add optional support for custom file icon emblems Changed it to use gicon and I keep the gicon around so it doesn't have to redo it when getting a different sized image. I also kept the custom emblem drawing code rather than use gtk's version of random placement so it's consistant with Thunar and the symlinks/read-only emblems will show in predictable locations.
This was added to master in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=bc48d533bd0dbaaad8d865bd6f26bc9c8f47e042 Since GIO doesn't provide any way to track when metadata changes, there may be up to a 1 minute delay before xfdesktop sees the any emblem updates.
