Description Ryan Saunders 2006-11-06 09:42:03 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

In the "configure toolbar" dialog, the "change icon" button does not behave as expected when the selected action is in the "available actions" list.

Repro steps:
  1. Select an item in the available actions list
  2. Click "Change Icon". Choose something and click OK.

Expected result: the selected action in the available actions list has the new icon
Actual result: the selected action is unchanged, and the bottom-most action in the "current actions" list has had the new icon applied to it

Ideally, I should be able to customize the icons for actions that aren't currently on my toolbar. If this is not feasible for some reason, then the "Change Icon" button should be disabled when the selection is in the "available actions" list.

Well this is because "Change Icon" applies to the selected action in the "Current actions" list, as shown by the fact that it's directly under this list.

Changing the icon of an icon that isn't in a toolbar is problematic, since we wouldn't know in which xml file to save the icon change; it would have to be "the file(s) where the menu that uses this action is defined", which is quite orthogonal to the toolbar editor's purpose (editing toolbars, not menus).

I think this is out of scope for the toolbar editor.

But you have one selection in each list, it's not "one or the other list is selected"... So as long as you have a selected item in the "Current actions" list, the Change Icon button is enabled. I think this works as expected...

Retitling; turning into wish.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
