Not sure it's really helpful for *browsers, because you have to know the
file type already. I'd think g_content_type_guess() is probably more
appropriate there since we don't know the content type already, and then
you directly get the icon (with g_content_type_get_icon()).

Fine then :) Having that icon is fairly easy, but as said, I'm currently
unable to display it reliably in the document sidebar.

Joined 0001-Add-filetype-icon.patch (depends on previous
0001-Add-MIME-type-to-GeanyFiletype.patch) that add filetype->icon, a
16x16 GdkPixbuf icon that represents the file type.

Also joined 0001-Add-filetype-icon-to-the-editor-notebook-popup.patch
that... huh, adds filetype icon to the editor notebook popup entries, to
show how it looks like. (this was suggestion 2).

Regards,
Colomban
