Dolphin is using an action icon instead of an emblem icon for read-only files and folders. This behavior is not consistent as other emblems are used correctly like symbolic links. This is not noticeable with Breeze or Oxygen but it is noticeable with themes that use different styles for these icons. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change to an icon theme with mono action icons and color emblems 2. Open Dolphin 3. View read-only folder or file Actual Results: Dolphin uses an action icon. Expected Results: Dolphin should use an emblem. it is possible that Dolphin is using lock or object-locked when it should be using emblem-nowrite, emblem-readonly, emblem-locked or emblem-encrypted-locked.

Is this issue still present with a newer version of Dolphin? If yes, which icon theme do you currently use (to allow us to reproduce this issue as easily as possible)? Thanks!
The issue is still reproducible, and it's in KIO, not Dolphin. Uri was right: it's using `object-locked`. Here's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13597

Use a correct emblem icon for readonly files and folders Summary: FIXED-IN: 5.48 Test Plan: Browsed some read-only files and folders with Dolphin. No visual change with Breeze or Oxygen icons. Didn't test other themes, but according to the bug report, this should fix an issue for them.
