First of all great work :)

I just installed papermerge and noticed, that my files are displayed as folders. The icon seems to be wrong.
I installed it today via Docker with this documentation: https://papermerge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup/docker.html

Here you can see an example:

Do you need more information?

I know the problem. I will provide a fix in couple of days. I think your Browser localization language is German. A quick workaround is to open application in English localized browser. I know it sounds weird. Bug is that decision to style node as folder or file is made by something like this:

if node.human_name similar to  "document" :
    this is document
  else:
    this is folder

In case of German localization node.human_name is "Dokument" - which does not match word "Document".
Anyway, as I mentioned before I will fix code so that it won't depend on localization.

Thank you for your feedback!

Fix is now available in v1.2.3. You basically need to:

$ cd papermerge-proj/docker
$ docker-compose up -d

again. Docker compose will pull version v1.2.3 which includes above fix.
