Hey David. I took a look through the fd.o spec for Desktop Entries and there isn't much written on the directory type. But when I created a foo.directory file, I noticed my Xfce shell manager (thunar) actually displayed the extension, as opposed to .desktop files where it completely hides the extension and gives a user friendly name. So my questions then are two. First, is the .directory type supported by any desktop manager at present? Second, if I understand correctly, the following minimal dumped in the root directory of a mountable volume should be sufficient to display an icon for the user's volume manager, where supported? [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Directory Version=1.0 Name=Some Volume Icon=Icon.png Thanks for your help. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
