Bug ID: 496178
Summary: Absolute icon paths in desktop files are sometimes
ignored
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@hexchain.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It seems that if the "Icon" property in a desktop file contains a full path,
the last part (i.e. "basename") is first used to look up an icon in the icon
theme. The actual file will only be used if the icon theme does not contain an
icon with the same (file) name.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a desktop file with the following content and place it to
~/.local/share/applications/test-app.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Icon=/tmp/hwinfo.svg
Exec=/usr/bin/true
Name=TestApp
2. Download an SVG icon (e.g.
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/raw/refs/heads/master/Papirus/32x32/apps/firefox.svg)
and save it to /tmp/hwinfo.svg
3. Launch KRunner or Kickoff and try to find TestApp.
OBSERVED RESULT
TestApp has the "hwinfo" icon, not the downloaded one.
EXPECTED RESULT
If the "test-app" (desktop file name) icon exists in the icon theme, it should
be used for TestApp. If it does not (as in this case), the downloaded SVG icon
should be used instead.
