What needs to be done:
Icons are stored here: core/img/filetypes
A mapping for mimetypes: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/resources/config/mimetypealiases.dist.json
You either change the existing mapping (e.g. "application/font-woff": "image" to "application/font-woff": "font") or remove the aliases (to fallback to the default resolving).
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/fda6ffc866cf8c5d3579fe95d1731ab747894002/lib/private/Files/Type/Detection.php#L348
Code to resolve a mime type to an icon. It first checks if there is an alias for the mimetype and looks for a file with the mime type name then.
thanks @kesselb i'll do it then
@jancborchardt do you mind creating an icon for font types?
Hi @kesselb ,
I'm trying to attempt this by updating the entry in mimetypealiases.dist.json. However, I got a message in the terminal when running ./occ maintenance:mimetype:update-js:
So I tried to omit the rest after "maintenance" and rerun the command, and I got this:
I thought maybe it's not worth it to do trial and error after the last question that the terminal returned, so I terminated the terminal. Which direction should I take this?
@Mikescops Did you get this too when attempting to solve this issue?
