dear iconsmith - where to put these to make them functional?

(as root):
copy *.fti /usr/lib/filetype/local/iconlib/
copy *.ftr /usr/lib/filetype/local/

cd /usr/lib/filetype/ && make

firefox has tag 0x100013, you have to tag your /usr/local/firefox/firefox (or whereever it lives):
cd /usr/local/firefox && tag 0x100013 firefox

Ditto for tbird, except the tag is 0x100031

Voila !

Very nice icons, btw.
If anyone has requests .. it's kinda fun to do and not that much work
hell is this:

9# cd /usr/lib/filetype/ && make
make: file `Environment variables' line 512: Syntax error
make sure you use sgi make, not gnu make

Unfortunately, the firefox in /usr/local/firefox/firefox is not a binary but a shell script, so tagging doesn't work. maybe i'll try a "glob" later tonight...
works fine .. just need to add #Tag 0x100013 to the shell script as the second line

Sure, you can still tag it. Running the tag command just adds the following to the shell script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#Tag 0x100013

Gaaack :oops:

I feel like a newbie... You're right, Neko.

i probably typed #0x100013 instead of 0x100013. Can't think of any better excuse :)

Is there an icon for GIMP somewhere ?
the little fox... I found one in /usr/lib/desktop/iconcatalog/pages/C/Freeware,
but it is the link to the gimp executable... how to import the icon into iconsmith then?
