I attach a screenshot of a directory as it appears following my recent upgrade to 8.04 Hardy Heron. If you look at the Legacy directory, there are three files: LONDON.02 this is a text file LONDON_02.gdt this is a binary file LONDON_02.web this is a text file All of these files were produced by my own programs on a Windows system. The icon chosen for the first file is fine. The icon chosen for the next two is not fine, for neither of the files is an executable. Is there a way that I can globally change the icons of files with extensions .gdt and .web ? In the previous Ubuntu versions these files were generally either bland or looked like text files. I have seen some of the posts on file naming and I agree that this is a difficult topic. But I really do think that giving 'strange' files an executable icon is not a good solution. Many thanks for Nautilus - it is usually great to work with! Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me on the file icon issue. -- With Best Wishes Geoff Kaniuk geoff kaniuk yahoo co uk 01223 710 582 33 Ashbury Close, Cambridge CB1 3RW
