Description SC 2025-03-13 07:48:32 UTC

SUMMARY

In the right click context menu of dolphin, the "Open terminal Here" entry always uses the Konsole icon regardless of what the actual default terminal emulator is set to. Note that when clicked, it actually does use the user's custom default. So it's just the visual inconsistency that's a problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. On a  KDE install, install Alacritty
2. Graphically set Alacritty as the default terminal emulator
3. Right click on the empty area of the file list in dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT

The icon for "Open terminal here" is still Konsole and not Alacritty

EXPECTED RESULT

The icon should be Alacritty

contextmenu: Use default terminal's icons for "Open Terminal" and "Open Terminal Here" actions

The "Open Terminal" and "Open Terminal Here" actions now use the icon of the user default terminal emulator application, instead of always using the "utilities-terminal" icon.

Even after the PR has been merged 3 months before still it doesn't work on my system and the the second entry to open terminal in picture in the attachment is label added by ghossty it's a separate issue that I have reported previously #501134

I've proposed reverting that change and fixing it in a different way in https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/1003.

This hasn't been cherry-picked, so you probably didn't test the patch.
It is only in 25.08, currently.
