Folder Icons - Identifier Badges

Well... We are on Zorin OS 16.
Prior to that, it was Zorin OS 15.
ZorinGroup uses a Numeric Name.

Linux Mint, however, uses Given Names... Like Una, debbie, tricia... All female. I don't know why.
Buncha nerds...

So that backport page won't work for me, running on Zorin?

Zorin is based on Ubuntu, and in Ubuntu we use those .deb installers, right? Which code-name/naming convention should I have used for what I need to accomplish.

Promise I won't forget if you can answer :stuck_out_tongue:

Was that a very subtle hint?

Yes; Ubuntu is based on Debian - all Ubuntu derivatives use Debian packages and the Advanced Package Tool: APT.

No, I do not do subtle and I do not do hints unless I explicitly state a reason why I am doing it when I do it.
I was thinking out loud. Sorry - I am working as well and have been pretty busy.

Vanessa:

It is not yet released and is in Testing...
So
The repo would be:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxmint-daily-build-team/daily-builds

EDIT: I just found this:

I have not yet tested any of it.

I just tested the above method - to no luck. Everything seemed to build ok, but upon restarting Nemo, I still had no Emblems option on right click.
*Ensure you have removed the unstable testing Mint Repo

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:linuxmint-daily-build-team/daily-builds

I found a different method while trying to suss that out:
Add repo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costales/folder-color

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install folder-color-nemo

nemo -q

Launch Nemo and right click a directory. The Folder Color option will now be present. You can also scroll down to see emblems that you can add. The last option is Default (Revert)- which sets it all back to how it was before.

Thx Ara
