download icon instead media-play

use emblem-downloads icon instead media-play

Hi, thanks for your suggestion! :)

I'm not sure about this change. Using play/stop icons for downloads is the most intuitive I believe because it's the standard used in download managers, it's more consistent with the use of the stop icon to pause/cancel downloads and also hints at the fact that there is a way to pause downloads, so it carries a lot more information than emblem-downloads.

I tried the change out to see how it looks:

I'm not convinced this is an improvement but I could be completely wrong, so I'll wait a bit for more feedback on this. I'm happy to bend to the will of the users here :)

So to anyone else who reads this, please give @artemanufrij's post at the top a thumbs up if you also want this change.

I agree with you about stop/pause icons. but if I click a play button I expect to play a video and not download it!

Yes, since it's videos that are downloaded it could be confusing. I'll keep the change in a branch so that I can quickly merge it before I release the next version and we've hopefully gotten a bit more feedback on this from other users. I associate the emblem-downloads icon mostly with the downloads folder icon so I find it's use here a bit out of place, but it might just be me :)
