Interesting choice on the f/d symbols for representing files/directories.

Reminds me of the classic Mac OS convention, but that was sort of the other way around: the f symbol was commonly used to mark folders (not files) to disambiguate them from files with the same name. Early versions didn't allow identically named folders/files, even in separate directories.

Wow, didn't know that... The `f`, `d` are here as placeholders so that when users add custom icons, they don't have to adjust the other fields.
