can't view icons when trying to assing one to a launcher

[wdc]

hello,

I can't see any icon when try to choose one to assign it to a launcher, they all are in /usr/share/pixmaps/ but when i use nautilus to browse that folder all i see are white document-like icons and not the icons itself, also when i try to choose an icon i can't see anyone but i am actually in /usr/share/pixmaps/

does anybody know how to fix this?

also when a double click on a pdf file evince says: MIME type unsupported: «application/x-extension-pdf», how can i fix this?

ok, thanks.

Lets say you right click the desktop and select create launcher. Then you get a dialog and in the upper left corner is a button with the text "No icon"
Push it and you see a bunch of icons....
The pdf error seems a bit odd, but it's probably some error in the file association
Right click on a pdf, select "Properties", select "Open with" and finally select "Evince" If Evince is not in the list there's a button "Add" at the bottom which gives you a list of all programs.
If that did not help, post back and we'll try something else

thanks, when i push the botton i see no icons, they are there but nautilus can't show them, if i go to the folder /usr/share/pixmaps/ i can see the png files but can't see their images, i see a blank icon to every file.

evince is configured already to open my pdf files but it can-t open them, it gives me an error message. right now i'm testing fedora 7 live cd and can't show you the message but fedora does show me the icons and certainly mint did after installation, something had to went wrong.

Ok - sorry but I think you understand that it's hard to find out what happened.
However I think it's along the lines of file association and/or dependencies.....
or
Open nautilus edit>preferences>preview
Select show miniatures and maybe you get the preview....
but your problem seems a bit wider

don't worry i'll wait to Celena to be released and ther surely mi icons will be ok.

Best regards.
