The icon is set by the folder view plasmoid, re-assigning This has been fixed. Can reproduce if libzip plugin is checked in Ark settings. ark 25.08.2-1 Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland oooops, wrong bug. Sorry. The bug persists on Plasma 6.5. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland So it does; I wasn't testing correctly, as this only affects cases where it's showing a location with a non-default icon. Sorry about that. Digging into the code, I'm not sure how we could prevent this. The notification is just showing the widget's icon, and the widget's icon is being set to the folder's custom icon. We would have to tell the widget to always consider its standard icon to be something fixed, and then make the CompactRepresentation show an icon that's *not* its standard icon. Which is possible. But I'm afraid that would just introduce inconsistency elsewhere that people would complain about. So I doubt there's anything satisfying we can do here, sorry. |
