Hi

Autodownloader doesn't seem to have a icon. I use a dock like panel and it is much nicer and easier to identify apps which has icons associated with them.


Erm, autodownloader doesn't have an icon as it is not intended to be directly invoked, it doesn't have a menu entry either. Instead apps which need files to be downloaded have a wrapper script which checks if the files are present, and if not invokes autodownloader and installs the files (under $HOME, so no root rights are needed). This wrapper scripts gets invoked by a menu entry which gets installed by the package of the app, using an icon from the app.

I hope that clarifies things.

I understand what autodownloader is but in dock like applications, example Avant window navigator in GNOME or Bagheera in KDE, big icons are used to indicate currently running applications instead of the task list.

Autodownloader when it's invoked can take a long time to download game content esp over low bandwidth connections and it's useful to differentiate it from other running applications. IIRC it was also a recommended guideline for any dialog boxes to have unique icons associated with them. Something to consider.


Ah, now I understand. I'm afraid I don't know how to add a window icon from python + glade. But if someone is willing to file a request with the art team for an iocn and see the requets through till we have actually an icon, then I'll do my best to integrate the icon into autodownloader.

Hans
