Symlinks look same as regular files

Open joshas opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Symlinks should have different look, e.g. custom emblem, because now it is impossible to separate symlinks from regular files.

Previous version did have that, however support for emblems is currently not there. Once we re-introduce that this will be automatically fixed.

While emblem and link icon rendering actually still works after uncommenting some lines of code, the actual implementation might need some improvements. Now all emblems are lined up before file icon, taking up precious space. Link icon should be rendered about at 0.5x scale over file icon (like in Gnome Files), but I have no idea where to put emblems. One might fit somewhere on file icon, but more will obscure file icon.

They are not supposed to be before file icon. It's a wrong behavior. That said, link emblem is on purpose placed next to other emblems. It makes it more obvious and simplifies implementation.
