Hello.
Can you tell us more about how to reproduce your problem? What steps did you follow? Do you use Css Styled Content? Fluid Styled Content? Could you attach a screenshot? Thank you

I am using FSC. I use the content element file links and under appearance in the drop down "Display file/icon/thumbnail" I use "file name and file extension icon". In one case I have a file collection type folder from storage, in the second case I have a file collection type static collection of files. I noticed that some icons (tested mp4 and docx) seem to be missing, see screenshot.

I think that the problem is: there is no icon for those file extension. If I understand correctly, the icons are located on /typo3/sysext/frontend/Resources/Public/Icons/FileIcons/
the FSC template Uploads.html reads:
<f:if condition="{data.uploads_type} == 1">
<img src="{f:uri.resource(path: 'Icons/FileIcons/{file.extension}.gif', extensionName: 'frontend')}" alt="">
</f:if>
(and there is a similar section below for
data.uploads_type=2)
as far as I can see there is no fallback to use default.gif for unrecognized file types.
My suggestion is to modify the template and use a set of icons of yours (I would better use CSS and a sprite).
Otherwise, if you agree, I would change this issue title to "Filetype icons - add missing common filetype icons" and tracker to "Feature"... the problem is that there will for sure be debate about what file extension should be considered "common" enough to include, I think. The fallback for unrecognized filetype icons would be a nice add, but I don't know if it would be possible in FSC.
(BTW: that would be possible using CSS)

I agree to change the issue title and tracker to feature.
Updated by Riccardo De Contardi almost 8 years ago
- Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
- Subject changed from Icons missing in file links with icon view to Filetype icons - add missing common filetype icons
- Category set to Frontend
- Status changed from Needs Feedback to New
- Priority changed from Should have to Could have
- Target version set to Candidate for Major Version
As agreed with the author of the issue, I change this issue into "feature"
The main topics related to this feature are:
- add "common" filetype icons (To be decided: what are the "common" ones)
- add a "fallback" feature: the unrecognized file types should have the "default.gif" icon, even with FSC. as far as now, there is no such fallback
- explore the possibility of using a sprite for the icons and pure CSS background-image icons, related to the file extension.

There is a nice patch which uses the icons in typo3/sysext/core/Resources/Public/Icons/T3Icons/mimetypes, but sadly the patch was abandoned: https://review.typo3.org/#/c/44464/
But the viewhelper in this patch works, so you could use it in your own theme extension.
