What kind of custom file icons, would you like to see in an IconPackage?

Lots and lots of icons...

Monday, July 24, 2006 by PixelPirate | Discussion: Icons

Hi all

I was wondering what kind of file types you would like to see in an IconPackage.

I have a list here with me, but I bet you can add some more. I think it would be good as a guideline, when someone makes a pack.

And I'm sure there's a bunch missing from my list. I could imagine some file types for various graphic applications, office applications and for files used if you're a web developer/designer.

I'm looking for overall general used icons, not icons for some application only a small percentage use on a daily base. Though some of those on my list probably are, but they're suited to my needs, and a reason why we're doing this (skinning), is to please ourself too...

I'll probably end up adding files like .dwg, .dxf and .psp to my list. What I would also like, is screenshots of existing icons for the file types you end up listing here, and preferably also the main icon for the application. (Like to those 3 mentioned above...) Then there's something to work with.

So please, tell me what file types are missing here, and provide some information to why I should add the file types suggested by you.

And here's my list:

.3gp
.7z
.aac

.m2v

M2V is an MPEG-2 Packetized Elementary Stream. It contains only video related data.

M2V files are normally destined to be multiplexed (muxed), which is the process of adding audio data and perhaps other streams such as subtitles, before use. M2Vs are created by demultiplexing an existing MPEG-2, or by converting another video format to MPEG-2.

When coverting avi to dvd with programs like TMPGenc XPress they are firstly coverted into .m2v and .wav so you can use dvd authoring software to create your dvd

Alright, I reached the 200, which makes me satisfied.

I'll leave the thread for now, and let the pack contain those 200 I have now.

Thanks for your help guys.
