GNOME 1.2, used in Debian 2.2, used the |
| |
|
24 |
DB library version 2. GNOME |
| |
|
25 |
1.4, used in Debian 3.0, uses the DB library |
| |
|
26 |
version 3. |
| |
|
27 |
|
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|

The files used by these versions are not |
| |
|
30 |
compatible. |
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
GMC uses the DB functions to |
| |
|
34 |
create the file ~/.gnome/metadata.db to handle desktop links |
| |
|
35 |
et al. |
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
So this file has to be recreated, otherwise, the links use |
| |
|
39 |
the standard icon, they can not be changed, and new icons |
| |
|
40 |
can not be created. |
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
|
| |
|
43 |
Calling convert-metadata.db will convert the file if |
| |
|
44 |
necessary, a backup copy is preserved with the suffix |
| |
|
45 |
.dbconvert-backup. |
