All is fine for me.

> 1. Oxygen Icons in Digikam [2] (installed to /usr/share/icons/oxygen)
> Apps:
>  - commit both Digikam and Showfoto icon also to Oxygen (trunk and
> branches/4.2 to get it in 4.2.1 and newer)
>  - leave a copy of application icons in digikam as fallback (for other
> themes
> that may not provide appropriate icons). Icons should be installed under
> /usr/share/apps/digikam/icons
>
> Actions:
>  - all icons are already in KDE 4.2
>  - drop them from Digikam package as most (all?) users are expected to have
> KDE 4.2 version of Oxygen by then
>  - we expect that Digikam will depend/require Oxygen icons (from KDE 4.2)
> for
> 0.10.0 release (as other themes do not provide all needed icons). For
> example,
> on Ubuntu, digikam package already depends on kdebase-runtime, that depends
> on
> kde-icons-oxygen.

> 2. Hicolor Icons in Digikam (installed to /usr/share/icons/hicolor)
> - these are digikam specific actions and has to be installed by Digikam
> - they should be installed to /usr/share/apps/digikam/icons/hicolor
> - I was told that they might be on this location due to some KDE/Windows
> specific issue (that might be resolved with recent KDE/Windows version)
>
> 3. KIPI Export plugin icons [3]
> - according to Oxygen team, these icons are not suitable for oxygen (due to
> quality/theming issues)
> - these icons will be added to kipi-plugins/common/icons in SVN and will be
> installed by kipi-plugins into /usr/share/apps/kipi-plugins/icons
>
> I would like to understand if there are any objections before I go and try
> to
> implement this. In particular it would be good to understand if this will
> also
> work for Windows and Mac OS X versions.
