[Nepomuk] NAO:prefSymbol in the akonadi nepomuk feeders

[Sebastian Trüg]

Hi Christian,

I would imagine that such a mapping exists outside of the Nepomuk db. It
could be on the file-system level as links to fdo icons. Mimetype icons
are also determined via file-name.
Or it could be some mapping text file which we could cache in ksycoca.
Just an idea...

Cheers,
Sebastian
