Hi Andrzej,

Where I usually have a problem is when someone like Libre
Office does a revision update (3.4 --> 3.5 was the last
one).  I have to go grubbing about to get the new icon.

What I would like is access to the raw path, that way
I can easily change the 4 as in 3.4 to 5 as in 3.5.
Way easier than hunting down the icon with the mouse.
It would also give me a clue as to where to find the
new icons if I knew where to old ones where located.
