Description Volker Kuhlmann 2006-07-19 03:41:24 UTC
Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.16.13-4-default

LAN website https://local.site/ didn't have a favicon and is bookmarked in konqueror. Icons shown by konqueror and keditbookmarks for this URL are either none or the blue globe.

When putting in a https://local.site/favicon.ico file (from http://pfsense.com/favicon.ico), both konqueror and keditbookmarks fail to ever notice that this site now has a favicon. (Firefox works just fine here and shows the new favicon without being asked.)

In keditbookmarks, selecting the bookmark for https://local.site/ and running rightclick-Update Favicon never shows the new icon, although it keeps itself busy for some time and then shows "OK" in the time field.

keditbooksmarks just never loads and saves the new favicon even when told.

Running convert somefile.ico /var/tmp/kdecache-user/favicons/heron.site.png
immediately has the desired effect of telling KDE that this site now has a favicon.

I have similar problems on Fedora Core 6 (KDE 3.5.6-4.fc6): It seems /favicon.ico-s are generally not supported on web sites anymore, only /favicon.png-s. 

I've lost all my bookmark icons after selecting "Update Favicon" for all bookmarks in the bookmark editor - except the ones where the icons were in PNG format.

Is still active for KDE 4.2 rc.

I have the same problem. On a new KDE 4.2, none of the favicons display in keditbookmarks. Update favicon and Update all favicons do nothing. Two icons out of dozens appear in the Konqueror menu. There are icons in /var/tmp/kdecache-david/favicons, and some menu icons will display the favicon on mouse rollover, but only on rollover and never in the URL bar. A few show in the tab, but most do not.

I confirm that update favicons tool does not work, this is KDE 4.2.0.

Same as bug 153049, but I cannot reproduce it; works for me (4.3 and 4.4-svn).
