I thought this looked really good, so I've decided to share. Patch's page is taking refuge on my blog.

They do indeed look good - if you've got the time could you post a feature request on http://bugs.dotproject.net as I'm sure one of the devs would be happy to consider them for inclusion - and we frequently miss things that are on the forums in all the traffic here. (We're always on the lookout for better icons).

Looks good, Tony. Thanks (again) for your contribution to the project. You've been a real big help since you've been here!

Karen, Mote - thank you for the replies

I've reposted this on Mantis as suggested.

Doh, I was about to commit some file icons too.

Thanks for sharing.

Would you mind if I'd do it with Vista Inspirate instead?

Again thanks,

Well Vista Inspirate just extends nuoveXT, where all the MIME type icons come from.

It's pretty awesome how they have an icon for just about every recognized MIME type, but the problem is that the icons were designed for much larger size (128x128) and the scaled down versions (required for this application) look pretty bad (blured, missing detail, etc).

Since your little mod only effects newly uploaded files, it probably wouldn't hurt too much to run this sql (as an example) against the database:

update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/x-office-document.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%doc%';
update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/x-office-presentation.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%ppt%';
update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/x-office-spreadsheet.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%xls%';
update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/x-office-document.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%pdf%';
update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/image-x-generic.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%png%';
update `dotproject`.`files` set 'file_icon`='icons/application-x-executable.png' where `file_name`LIKE '%zip%' ;

Too bad there's not a specific icon for pdf's

good call on the update SQL. Actually I would also run

update `dotproject`.`files` set `file_icon`='icons/image-x-generic.png' where `file_icon` = NULL

so that any file that doesn't get covered by any of the LIKE %% statements (say one really odd extension) will end up with a generic icon.

There was no PDF specific icon I would have put that in otherwise.

I found a usable pdf icon at the site that Pedroa suggested...

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/sh...?content=28352 within the "Vista-Inspirate 1.0 (KDE)" set under 22x22/mimetypes/pdf.png. I then added a few lines to your code from index_table.php to make it look like this (to kinda cheat the system a bit)

<?php
		if ($file_row['file_type'] == "application/pdf") {
		echo "<img src=\"images/icons/pdf.png\" />";
		}
		else {
		$file_icon = $file_row['file_icon'];
		echo "<img src=\"images/$file_icon\" />";
		}
		?>
