Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-03-17 19:53:29 UTC

In the Comics as well as Plasma Desktop Widgets categories, all entries share the same icon, which makes it pretty useless. For Plasmoids, the screenshot alone should work, for comics we need something else.

Reproducible: Always

Please suggest icons for each

Comment 2 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-03-17 21:11:03 UTC

As I said: For the Plasmoids, I'd not show any icon at all, only the screenshot.
For comics it's difficult because we don't have pictures for each of them. Which is weird anyway, given that comics are an inherently visual medium.
Might it be possible for us to automatically retrieve a comic using the plugin, store it somewhere and then use that?
We need to get visuals _somewhere_, or otherwise we have to redesign the comics section completely so it works without any visuals.

We'll still have the same problem on other places, i.e. list views:

Fixed in commit https://phabricator.kde.org/R134:05e780a32f210695ec2b3efb7a8d04ae27e96863

Use the first thumbnail as icon for KNS resources

Rather than using the same icon for all KNS based
resources, this will return the URL for the first
screenshot item.
