I have a question!
Hopefully in the next few days I should have a Usability test that I have been working on with Björn Balazs from apliki.de on the K3B icons in that study I will pose the same question I'm about to pose now. And hopefully a few more options, that will come from the feedback of this post. So the question is...... "Data cd" 1 or 2?.... 1 2 Don't think to hard, just fire the first thing that pops in your mind, that is the best way to judge a icon IMO..also if you have an better idea please share...I will try to include it in the usability test. P.S Ofcourse the numbers will have to be redone for each size and the document as well... Its one source file for each icon. meaning this one = 14 files 7 png's and 7 svgz's.

Keep up the good work!
The text below the preview states there is a noticeable outline, I didn't notice it on the colorpicker and the clip until I look closely.
Overall the work is _looking_ more neat, but the original Ideas I read about which really got me excited (color coded icons, sub-actions on hover, preview actions when dragging and not dropping, animated on hover) doesn't show at all.
It's good working, just don't forget that if the symbolics fail, the icons are useless to the user. Make sure it's easily recognizable and that users quickly associate it as symbols, not images.
And when you call up properties on a folder there being being three layers of user addible objects: behind, inside and in-front of the folder. That you can replace the white sheet with a selection of a photo from inside the folder and then like a real folder the name would be Birthday and the folder icon would contain a picture of a birthday cake cropped from the actual 'candle blowing photograph' inside the directory.
