Yes ... why are you opening a directory with 10 binaries? That's not something users would ever normally do - actually I'm a developer and it's not something I ever do either. This isn't Windows or MacOS where users are directly exposed to binaries, in Gnome it always goes via an abstraction layer like .desktop files. > I want to be able to differentiate and choose the binary I want to > run, without reading the name, just looking at the icon. > Why is this so hard ?? It's not hard. It's just not a problem 99.999% of people have. It would also need to interact properly with icon theming and such. thanks -mike
