Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.2.2 OS: Linux Hi, I'm testing KDE 4 ( from trunk ) on some boxes. On some boxes I don't have all kde* packages installed but also other non-kde programs ( games , edu , office etc ). On these boxes the menu is broken , almost everything shown no icons. After looking around I found out the *directory files uses icons from kde<module> packages which of course are not installed or they simply use old names are not anymore in oxygen. This seems for me like a logical issue. The *directory files which are installed from /workspace/ should have ' existing ' icons installed by default in KDE's default icon set. Using icons name from packages is a bit wrong because one could as example disable this KDE modules in which case the menu for this category is broken forever or one uses non-kde games , office , pim , edu but does not have the package installed which provide this icon(s). Also for the kde-games-X.directory I cannot find any icons matching the used name in the file and I cannot find and oxygen replacement for these. kde-games-roguelikes.directory does not even have any icon. I attach an patch which corrects kde-development-translation.directory and kde-unknown.directory names as found in oxygen. Regards, Gabriel
Created attachment 22313 [details] correction for new icon names
Created attachment 22314 [details] fix for kde-editors.directory
Also I cannot find any replacement for kde-utilities-peripherals.directory. It is ok to use editinput icon for this one ?
Or maybe preferences-desktop-peripherals ?
Yes, preferences-desktop-peripherals is what we want to use for that. I'll have a look at it, sooner or later.
Also all icons for *-edu*.directory are missing. Jakob do you want me to do an big patch to fix at least existing icons ? I mean kde4.0 will be released soonish and some solution is needed. Even it means one has to restore the old icons for 4.0 or something. It really looks weird in kickoff right now.
I just fixed all of these entries in revision 751810 - unfortunately I forgot to amend the commit message so that it appears here, but after one more "make install" on kdebase, the icons should now be ok. Games icons might not be totally accurate as game subcategory icons don't exist and so they now fall back to the existing applications-games icon, but I would consider that a more minor issue. Thanks for pushing me to look at this, and sorry for letting it slip for a while.
Argh! the status. mark as FIXED, yay.
NP Jakob. I've just tested the current revision and now is ok. Thanks!
