Description Frode M. Døving 2005-06-30 14:26:20 UTC

Version:           3.4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.5 
OS:                Linux

I quote Alberto Torres <kungfoobar@gmail.com> from https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8768

"In konqueror, you can see icons are about 64x64, and desktop icons are 32x32.
In the kcontol icon module, the desktop and file manager icon size is set to
32x32, but it affects only to the desktop, maybe because the size option in
konqueror is saved in the profile or somewhere else."

This happens on 3.5 too. It seems that once the icon size is set in konq*viewrc, it refuses to change after that. Remove the "IconSize=" line and it works again.

Workaround: If you don't have Konqueror in file manager mode when changing the icon size then this problem doesn't occur. As soon as the rc file has IconSize=XX, it will stay that size for that view.

This may be a Konqueror bug, so CC'ing.

The "global" settings are overwriten by the specific settings on th application. This is still reproducible on KDE4.

@Peter: how did you implemented the initial settings of icon sizes on dolphin?

Comment 3 Peter Penz 2008-11-12 05:56:50 UTC

The default icon sizes in Dolphin depend on the currently used view and not on the settings in the control center. Dolphin allows to adjust 6 icon size parameters in parallel, so personally I see those settings independent from the settings in the control center, but I'm open for suggestions here.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
