Add .chd mimetype icon, and update the MAME icon to match #3891
Conversation

Actually, I want to tweak the mimetype's hues a bit more before declaring this one ready for review. Forgive the noise. |
Compressed Hunk of Data, not always a hard disk. Often used for the hard disk that accompanies the ROM chips on some arcade boards. The file format is used by other emulators too, PlayStation ones, notably. For those, it's a CD. Same iconography as the existing qchdman icon. Colours like the MAME branding, electric blue on black. Design from the existing application-x-qemu-disk icon.
The MAME wordmark on mamedev.org uses a considerably lighter electric blue than the old icon here. Lift the MAME icon to be a bit closer to the new CHD mimetype icon without washing out on light theme backgrounds.

Hopefully a closer hue match now. Let me know whether I should revisit this and the other hard disk image icons to be closer in spirit to the |
i guess that could be done, but these are device icons, and the hard drive device icon is the one you've used. for the sake of consistency, i think it's better to leave similar icons this way |

congrats on making one of the lightest app icons in Papirus history, by the way! |
Not my doing! All @Vectrex's original work in 720f7de and a bit of cleanup by @SmartFinn subsequently: https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/commits/master/Papirus/64x64/apps/mame.svg |
Adds an icon for
.chdfiles based on the existing icons for qemu and vmware disk images,and updates the existing MAME app icon's colours to be closer the "M" of the the wordmark used on https://mamedev.org currently, and reflect the colours for the new mimetype:
The
.chdformat is pretty generic, and can store CD images too. Unrelated PlayStation emulators will use it for that, even though the format started off with MAME and is mostly used for HD images. It's not really MAME-specific now, and the existingqchdmanicon just reflects the hard disk icons, as the format's major use.I think honestly the design for hard disk files like this and the existing
application-x-{vmware,qemu}-diskicons could be abstracted to just the central circle-with-a-quarter-spur design, and thus made closer to the existingapplication-x-isoicon. The concepts are very close to.isoimages, after all. What do you think? Should I update those disk image icons too?Related to #2505.
