Icon locations?

Hi

I am having problems with icon locations for my package.

I am putting the 64x64 icons in /usr/share/icons/scalable/hildon.

I am putting the 40x40 icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/apps/

And the 26x26 are going into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/apps/

My .desktop file looks like this:

Code:

 [Desktop Entry]

 Version=1.0.0

 Encoding=UTF-8

 Name=maeflight

 Comment=A flight status application for Maemo 5

 Exec=/usr/bin/maeflight

 Icon=maeflight

 X-Icon-path=/usr/share/icons   Path to the icon

 X-Window-Icon=maeflight

 Type=Application

It packages fine, but when I try to install the package using dpkg -i, I get the following error:

Code:

dpkg: error processing maeflight_5.1.1-1_armel.deb (--install):

 error creating directory `usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/apps': No such file or directory

Errors were encountered while processing:

 maeflight_5.1.1-1_armel.deb

What am I doing wrong? From what I can see of the N900 filesystem, these icon locations already exist. I just want to stuff my icons there as well. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Fast guess: did you forget the "/" at the beginning? Otherwise, do you have the sources somewhere?

just double checking
are you sure the path isnt mistyped or a paste error ? ,
from the error you pasted it says
usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26
its missing the / before usr ==> /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26

EDIT: Daniel was quicker with a shorter reply ;)

Not relate to your problem, but the correct size is 48x48 not 40x40, and unless you are targeting Diablo as well the 26x26 icon is not needed here.

These lines are redundant in your desktop file:

X-Icon-path=/usr/share/icons Path to the icon
X-Window-Icon=maeflight

The system know where to find the icon if it uses the same name as the desktop file

Re: Icon locations?

Thank you for the responses. I adjusted my .desktop file per VDVsx's recommendation.

I am using PyPackager for the packaging, so AFAICT, I am not specifying the icon location 'usr/....'. I agree that it looks like it should be '/usr/....'.

With PyPackager, I have a 'make.py' file that provides all of the inputs required for the packaging. However, nowhere that I can see am I specifying the icon directories. I simply create that directory structure below 'src'. I am a little stumped. Where would I look to see why the '/' is missing from the path?

Correct size for what? But you are correct that all icon sizes are not needed. Actually only one 64x64 icon is enough for both diablo and fremantle

Yes, the system scale the icons, but last time I see the specs:

48x48 - Desktop shortcut.
64x64 - Menu icon.

Re: Icon locations?

Both of those links indicate that the directories in 'dirs file' do not start with a preceding '/'.

My dirs file matches those guidelines.

The icon shows up in the application menu, and when a desktop shortcut is made. But the icon does not show up in App Manager.

dirs file:

Code:

opt/maeflight/

usr/bin/

usr/share/applications/hildon/

usr/share/icons/

Re: Icon locations?

Do you have the XB-Maemo-Icon-26[1] field in your debian/control file ?
