Bug ID: 364511
Summary: Changing an icon for a file or folder does not
function.
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kevinlekil...@gmail.com
First, I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, I've searched and could not find this
exact issue.
--------
Issue:
When trying to change an icon for a file or folder through the properties menu
in Dolphin, the icon does not change.
------------
Solution:
The problem is because one or all of these files/folders are not created
automatically by Dolphin (Dolphin will append errors to ~/.xsessions-errors if
these files/folders do not exist):
~/.local/share/applications/
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
~/.config/mimeapps.list
~/.local/share/mime/
~/.local/share/mime/packages/
Manually creating all these files/folders fixes the issue.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin.
2. Right click on a folder.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click the icon under General.
5. Select an icon.
6. Click OK.
Actual Results:
The original icon is still in use.
Expected Results:
The new icon should be used.
This issue affects every distributions I've tested: Arch Linux, OpenSuse
Tumbleweed, Manjaro, KDE Neon.
