[TYPO3] Changing appearance of tt_news file list icons

[StephenBungert]

I have it working  now!

newsFiles {
    icon_image_ext_list = jpg,xls
    iconCObject = IMAGE
    iconCObject {
      file = fileadmin/templates/fmf/images/icons/mail.gif
    }

icon_image_ext_list seems to be required, the description for it says:

'This is the extensions that should render as thumbsnails instead of icons.'
so  I thought it meant if I want to see a thumbnail (like in windows
explorer) of a file use this, else show the icon in the iconCObject.file
property. I wanted icons, so I didn't use this property - I didn't associate
my gifs being classed differently from the default ones, which seem to be
called icons, mine are just thumbnails it seems!. But when I add it and give
it a comma seperated list of filetypes, any of those file types that show in
the file list get the mail.gif file as an icon, instead of the default.

I guess the decription needs re-wording to:
'These are the file extensions that should be rendered with the image
specified by the iconCObject.file property instead of the default filetype
images.'
