custom-icon folders show no frame

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm using the latest version of Nautilus, on Ubuntu Hardy. Since some time ago, folders with a custom icon do not show a frame even if the original images used as a thumbnail do show a frame.

don't abuse the title to describe the version of ubuntu you are using, this information will be wrong when the next version opens and create extra work and confusion

Thank you for your bug report. I'm not sure that's a bug, folder icons have no frame either and that makes easier to make the difference between an image and a directory using a custom icon for example

"folder icons have no frame either and that makes easier to make the difference between an image and a directory"

Well, on second thought maybe the title was a bit misleading. I said folders because I usually only set custom icons to them, but NO element with a custom icon shows a frame. You can right-click a random image, set another image as its thumbnail, and you'll get no frame either.

All thumbnailed elements should have a frame. Removing the frame removes the shadow, too, which breaks the illusion that desktop elements "cast a shadow" on the desktop. I think it should be, at least, reported to the developers to check if it is in fact intentional.

There is some disagrement about that, you can read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512905 on the topic

the question is rather something for upstream to decide and not an ubuntu issue

Thanks Sebastien, I just filed an upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524392
