Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) Compiler: gcc-4.4.3-4.fc12.x86_64 OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs I have a shortcut to a java application that I created on my desktop. The application came with a .ico file for its icon. Under Properties, I click on the icon, select Other icons -> Browse, and the Filter field does not include *.ico, or the ability to show all files. However, if I type in the name of the .ico file that I know exists there, the icon is loaded and displays as I'd expect on the desktop. An easy fix would be to add *.ico to the filter. A better fix might be to use /usr/bin/file or some other way (besides file extension) to interrogate the file for determining whether it is an icon that can be displayed. When I run file on this icon, I get this: $ file HeroDesigner.ico HeroDesigner.ico: MS Windows icon resource - 1 icon
The website pbsKidsPlay.org uses .ICO as favicon.ico. i created shortcuts to pbsKidsPlay.org under plasma so that the 2 year old can easily see where to click. It works under CentOS 6 Gnome, but not plasma. Fails under CentOS 6 kdebase-4.3.4-5.el6 not plasma.

Git commit 0131f8afe845f077e525a87e0b168f6600691fe6 by Nathaniel Graham. Committed on 27/06/2018 at 21:15. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Support choosing .ico files in custom icon file chooser Summary: .ico files work fine, so we should allow them to be chosen in the custom icon file chooser dialog. FIXED-IN: 5.48 Test Plan: - Find a .ico file lying around, or turn a .png file into a .ico file using https://convertico.com/ - Typ to apply it to a folder in Dolphin - You can select the .ico file in the dialog, and when applied, it appears correctly as a custom icon for the folder Reviewers: #frameworks, cfeck Reviewed By: cfeck Subscribers: broulik, kde-frameworks-devel Tags: #frameworks Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13718 M +2 -2 src/kicondialog.cpp https://commits.kde.org/kiconthemes/0131f8afe845f077e525a87e0b168f6600691fe6
Rob, your 2 year-old is now 8, but hopefully this will still be useful. :)
