New Folder icon problem
« on: September 02, 2010, 04:12:44 pm »
After looking at PinguyOS, I just wiped my Lucid clean and installed it right away!  It is awesome!
I have a problem when creating new folders... the icons of the newly created folders have a 'dotted line' border with a 'clock' inside...
E.g. here:


Is this happing to everyone?  Please let me know how I can fix this.
TIA

That's the image it makes when it is making a new thumb. Just refresh the view.
If that dosent work run BleachBit (not as root).

Wow.. that was a fast reply!

Hello Pinguy, I did run BleachBit (not root) and it did its stuff... but the icon problem is still there.. I just rebooted my PC too...
Looks like the folder is not 'finding' the icon?
This is not a big problem, but when the OS is so awesome looking, it sticks out prominently : )


EDIT: In COMPACT view, the icon is rendered properly... In both the LIST and ICON view, it is not rendered properly...

TIA

That's such an odd bug? Can anyone else confirm this bug.

Yeah, this is quite odd... In fact, this is a FRESH install (just installed it last night) and havent done anything else except configure Docky and add my email accounts to Thunderbird... Havent fiddled with anything in the system at all..

After much heartburn, I reinstalled PinguyOS and the problem is no more... something must have screwed up the initial install...

Closed. Moved. Great.

When something is working, don't FIX it.
