I think putting a "turn back the clock" glyph on the mimetype for a normal document would be really easy, happy to do that in the coming week?

@ubuntujaggers @eaglersdeveloper :D

This is Awdaita

Yeah I know - activity on suru is pretty low currently. We could push it here first, and make a PR after on Suru - instead of doing it the other way around like you did with the last 10 pull requests @eaglersdeveloper ? ;) What do you say?
When changes are applied upstream to icons we already pushed here, we can always decide if we overwrite our stuff with the upstream changes but currently - targeting 19.4 - I think we should go for PR-here->thenupstream

Do you guys like something like this instead of a plain text icon ?

Is the answer just to clone the normal (Suru) icon to this position, like Adwaita does? I'm not sure I understand the symbolic logic of the one on Filefinder...?

Hmmm maybe the same icon but with @meetdilip 's glyph

Sorry @meetdilip, but I don't think that icon would be nice in suru. Is there any example from most used icons set?

Consider that this files are usually hidden. I'd say that we can even keep it as it is

I think he means only the shape as a glyph

Like this icon but instead of the (C) that backup icon but in "suru" style (thinner)
image

I meant the above. The file background and a time indicator glyph instead of the copyright symbol in the icon by @Feichtmeier

@clobrano Attached what Papirus does

application-x-trash.zip

I thought the icon should say that it is a document, from an older time. Here is a mockup

application-x-trash 2x

If you like it white

application-x-trash 3x

Maybe we can "steal" design from Breeze icons

application-x-trash.svg from Neon (I guess bionic)

Easy to confuse with the thumbnail loading icon.

Maybe we can use the recycle icon? See my comment above

We could also make a glyph out of one of these icons:

For example the floppy symbolic is pretty common for "saved" or "safe" (even if the kids don't even know what that floppy is ;D )

...a "turn back the clock" glyph on the mimetype...

+1 for the "turn back the clock" idea. A quick Google search also implies that it's the most common used one.

The mimetypes seem mostly very simple - just a glyph on a white "rectircle":

copying

So maybe it should be as simple as:

backup

?

the latter looks better to me

Okay, I'll do a PR today :)

Is the circle a bit asymmetric ? The bottom part seems to be stretched and long. Or is it just an illusion ?

I prefer make as in Humanity: make the file icon translucent.

@meetdillip It is long - I thought it best to copy exactly the dimensions of the circle from the existing Copying icon shown above - what does everyone think?

Oh, maybe the hands of the clock could be lower, is that what you mean?

@ubuntujaggers I meant the partial circle with arrow. It looks a bit stretched at the bottom. Oval than a circle.

backup icon oval

Oh yeah, it's definitely an oval, happy to redraw that if people don't like it. I literally took/edited the "circle" (really an oval) from the existing icon.

Hi guys,

Do we want a PR for this one or more mockups?

To show mockups I prefer a PR :) the bug is more for describing the problem

Ah, okay, I've been doing it wrong lol. I'll make a PR as soon as I get chance, having a bit of drama today with a leaky roof!

Fixed with #1061

Hmmm... @clobrano with which icon did you test it? Does not work for the mypaint backup files here

EDIT: let me double check, I might have an old series of file application-x-trash in my system

My bad, I had old application-x-trash.png images that where the one working. I'll propose a patch right away
