Version: 4.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: installed via PPA OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages This only came about in KDE 4.3.1. I was using KDE 4.2.2 before and didn't have this issue. If I right click on a folder and select “properties” and then change folder icon I expect folder icon to in folder list in Dolphin or Konqueror. If the folder that I want icon to be changed is located on native Linux partition – it works as expected. When folder is located on a partition (NTFS) that is mounted to /media/disk – changing folder has no affect. Everything under /media is owned by root, but permission 777 is set to all folder and files by default. If folder icon is changed for a folder on a manually mounted partition and then this folder is copied to linux native partition – icon changes all of a sudden and it reverts to default blue folder icon as soon as it is copied back to the /mount/disk. I'm not reporting this as a bug, as in principal folder icons are working, but there is some issues with access permissions as far as I can understand it. If anyone can explain how to go around it it will be much appreciated.
