File type icons in icon-themes/[theme]/sfx2/res/

[Stefan Knorr (Astron)]

Hi all,

thanks for the helpful comments. So, checking with zip files seems a
good way to go about this...

@Eike: It seems the builtin file picker only shows 16x16 icons (unless
there is some incredibly well hidden option to switch to something
other than list view), so it at least can't be the consumer of those
32x32 icons etc.

I believe you can't do this (any more). While there is the possibility
to choose your own toolbar icons [1], none of the icons Michael found
are offered there.
They also don't seem to be part of packimages, since these have their
own makefiles– thus, they wouldn't be specifically picked at all (like
the icons in icon-themes), it would just package them all, no?
