'emoticons.xml' from the theme "White Emoticons that work"
I'm attaching the theme file so you can find out if there's a pattern in the bindings, filenames or anything in that direction.
In most cases the affected emoticon entries have an asterisk (e.g. *bear*) at the beginning and the end of its string tag. I hope this is of any help... I tested it in KMail and the bug persists even there. Although in KMail I noticed that *bear* (and similar "*<name>*" emoticon strings) are showed as bold text of what enclosed in the two asterisks. I wondered if that is the reason why the emoticons fail to show, so I changed the 'emoticons.xml' file and replaced all enclosing asterisks with pluses (e.g. "*bear*" for "+bear+"). It didn't fix the bug though :/ I tested it again, by enclosing it in semicolons. It works if you change the 'emoticon.xml' entries to ":<name>:" (e.g. :bear:) If this is intentional — which due to the fact that underscores and asterixes are commonly used and interpreted by KMail as emphasises, I think it is — it would be nice if there was some mention somewhere that using *<name>* won't work in emoticon files. Which brings us to another problem, since AFAIK, ICQ encloses all its emoticons in asterixes (e.g. *JOKINGLY*). Can we call this a feature instead of a bug by now? “Feature or bug” bump? ;) The KCM and KNewStuff file got removed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/52/diffs#diff-content-c3a2c07b45e514159719757369b49e104b451e6f do I am marking this bug as resolved. |
