it also only shows files it can open. The info button in Browser lists all files in the folder regardless of whether QGIS can open them or not. I guess we need to think about what the user wants to do with the info they can see in the panel.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p>Yep I'm down for that, would look pretty nice if we can I think. Bit like what VS Code, pycharm etc do for different file types.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Would be still handy to see if it's line, point, etc so just need to consider that.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi List,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This might be on the hit list already. Is it possible to have different icons for different file types within the QGIS Browser? I know the standalone Browser is being discontinued
but the panel will still be available in the core QGIS. Different icons would be very useful.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the QGIS Browser (app and panel) file system based datasets are listed in alphabetical order and each file has either a small raster icon if it is an image format or a small
polygon icon if it is not. For database layers they have a small point, line or polygon icon.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my second choice GIS (well known!) there is also a browser-like application but it shows the files and datasets with different icons depending on file and data type. You can
see the icons in the screenshots on this page - <a href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/using-arccatalog/a-quick-tour-of-arccatalog.htm" target="_blank">
