Description Gregor Mi 2016-01-20 22:09:53 UTC
Currently, for the Move/copy files notification: the unexpand button looks like stop.

Details and screenshots see here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=130623
Comment 1 Martin Klapetek 2016-01-20 22:55:48 UTC
Thanks for the report

Yes the icons looks weird, it's mostly a remnant from kde4 times
when the icon "list-remove" was a minus sign. Now it's a stop sign
for whatever reason.

Looking over all the "actions" icon, I did not however find an icon
pair for "expand/collapse". The best one I could find is "arrow-down"
and "arrow-up", but that doesn't feel right, especially since it can
change into actual arrow at any point and just look weird.

VDG, what's your recommendation for an icon here?
Comment 2 Martin Klapetek 2016-01-20 23:02:00 UTC
Or maybe the button should go away altogether and it should
be clickable in the same way as device notifier and network
manager applets' lists are? Ie. no button but the whole list item
is clickable and it expands on clicking.
Comment 3 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-01-20 23:45:46 UTC
Arrow-right and arrow-down are used for expandable list items, so reusing it here does sound very sensible to me.
Why would we introduce a new icon for the same thing?
