Description Soukyuu 2015-04-17 19:36:43 UTC

Picking a folder icon works, but upon confirming and closing, the icon does NOT display. However, a correct .directory file is written to the directory in question

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select folder->properties
2. select icon->ok (icon displayed in properties dialog)
3. close the properties dialog

Actual Results:  
Default folder icon is shown

Expected Results:  
Custom folder icon is shown

Changing to the directory and viewing hidden files shows the .directory file with the correct icon displayed. This is on dolphin-git, checked out just now. Rest of the system is running the latest plasma 5.3 packages from kde-unstable.

I can confirm this here with Frameworks 5.9.0, Plasma 5.3 beta, and the latest dolphin git version (from 17 hours ago...).

Btw, the same issue exists in KF5's file open/save dialog. I.e. it doesn't show the custom icon for the folder either, but the default icon. But it shows the .directory file with the custom icon when entering the folder.
So this is probably not a dolphin specific problem.

Thanks for the analysis. It's probably a KIO issue.

Comment 3 Soukyuu 2015-04-19 12:12:59 UTC

Not that I think about it, the issue reminds me of how dolphin (or, kio, I guess) behaves with "slow" filesystems a la smb - not displaying the custom icon.

Err, typo. "now that I think about it".

Comment 5 Wolfgang Bauer 2015-08-10 18:50:06 UTC

I just discovered a more recent bug report about the same issue, which has a proposed fix.
