- The _i_c_o_n_c_a_t_a_l_o_g (or _i_c_o_n_b_o_o_k) contains named pages which can store any
- type of icon, including files, folders, programs, printers, people,
- hosts, and tape and disk drives.
-
- Icons are stored in the catalog as references to the actual entities. If
- an icon is dragged onto an iconcatalog page, only a reference to the
- actual entity is kept on the page. With the default IndigoMagic color
- scheme, blue iconcatalog pages can be distinguished easily from green
- icon views.
-
- The "Make Reference" operation on icons in the icon catalog will create
- new reference icons in the icon catalog. To remove a reference icon, the
- user can click on the icon, then select the right-mouse menu Remove item;
- only the reference icon will be deleted--the original file will remain
- safely on the system.
-
- Any references (also called symbolic links) will be created in
- subdirectories under the user's local iconcatalog pages directory,
- $_H_O_M_E/._d_e_s_k_t_o_p-<_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e>/_i_c_o_n_c_a_t_a_l_o_g/_p_a_g_e_s.
-
- An iconcatalog page can be a system page or an user page or a combination
- of the two.
-
- The files in /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_d_e_s_k_t_o_p/_i_c_o_n_c_a_t_a_l_o_g/_p_a_g_e_s/_C define the contents of
- each default system page, such as Applications and Demos. Icons in the
- default system pages can not be removed by the general user, because the
- reference icons (symbolic links) are installed on the system and owned by
- the special root user. In this way, icons on the default system pages
- are protected from accidental removal.
-
- New blank pages can be created in the iconcatalog for storing user-chosen
- icons. These new, user pages can be renamed, though the system's default
- pages (ex., Applications, Demos) can not be renamed. The iconcatalog
- checks automatically to ensure that no two pages have the same name.
-
- The user can drag icons onto or delete reference icons from any page.
- Here, a combination of user and system page icons are presented. The user
- can remove unwanted icons straightforwardly, however, using the right-
- mouse or Selected menu "remove" operation.
-
- This application has the ``run-once'' feature, meaning only one instance
- of the application will run at one time. Attempting to launch the
- application a second time will have the effect of deiconifying the
- application window or popping it to the top on the current desk.

- The iconcatalog remembers each page's layout--that is, each page's
- contents and mode of display. There are files named after the page and
- are located in the user's subdirectory $_H_O_M_E/._d_e_s_k_t_o_p-
- <_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e>/_i_c_o_n_c_a_t_a_l_o_g/_l_a_y_o_u_t_s. These files record the current layout of
- each page.
-
- Upon upgrade from previous IRIX releases to IRIX 6.5, the old page
- information will be translated to the new formats and placed in the
- following new locations. The old information will then be removed.
-
- In IRIX 6.5, the following locations are used by iconcatalog:
- $HOME/.desktop-<hostname>/iconcatalog/pages/<page name>
- $HOME/.desktop-<hostname>/iconcatalog/layouts/<page name>
- /usr/lib/desktop/iconcatalog/pages/<page name>
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/IconCatalog
-
- The internal formats of all these files are not guaranteed to remain
- constant between releases.

- After removing or renaming a page, the ordering of pages in the Goto menu
- will be wrong, and the separator line between system and user pages will
- be lost.
-
- The captions under the icons cannot be displayed in languages other than
- English.
