Fix Files Icon

[jimkp]

In Cinnamon on the Plank dock the Files isn't using the icon from Numix Circle theme.

The only way I could fix this was to create a new nemo.desktop with a specific link to the nemo.svg in the Numix-Circle directory. I put this desktop file in .config and then dragged and dropped it on Plank which created the dockitem.
This doesn't seem like a good solution. When run the running application icon appears as the Files icon again.

I guess it's hardcoded on Cinnamon?

That is possible but I must admit I don't fully understand how icons work.

I've re-assigned this to 27 in the hope we can work it out for then

I have been playing around with Cinnamon today and opened the Menu Editor where i changed the current icon from the File Manager to the Numix Circle one. After logging out and back in the changes were applied in the Menu.

Then i started the file manager from the menu which then showed as should with the Numix Circle icon in Plank and enabled 'Keep in Dock'. After that i removed the previous File Manager item from the Dock and rebooted just to make sure the new one would stick. So it did.

The question remains though how to get this fix onto our iso. I'm not 100% sure if this could be done through dconf.

The icons issue needs to be reported upstream with the Numix guys.
