Description Whtyger 2022-04-28 18:29:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
"Icon" parameter which is set in [Desktop Entry] section of the ServiceMenu desktop file is ignored.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
An example of ServiceMenu with submenu:
------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=all/all;
Actions=Create;Check;
Icon=document-encrypted
X-KDE-Submenu=md5 sums
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel

[Desktop Action Create]
Name=Create md5 sums
Icon=document-new-from-template
Exec=dolphin-md5-create.sh %F

[Desktop Action Check]
Name=Check md5 sums
Icon=dialog-ok-apply
Exec=dolphin-md5-check.sh %f
------------------------------

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon for the top-level entry in the menu is taken from its submenu. In the case of aforementioned desktop file the icon which is shown is "document-new-from-template.svg".

EXPECTED RESULT
Icon for the top-level entry should be "document-encrypted.svg".

I can confirm this for Kubuntu 22.04, also when using the backports ppa.
The menu's icon is ignored. Instead the icon for the first sub-item is shown.
Comment 2 Whtyger 2025-11-18 10:12:49 UTC 
The bug still exists in the last Plasma 5 version. Icon parameter set in Desktop Entry section is ignored, icon from the first Action is used instead.

And it still exists in plasma 6.5.2 (Fedora 43).
