Dolphin version is 16.08.0 however this version is not selectable in bug report form OS version: up to date KDE neon User Edition 5.7 Problem: cannot get custom, or actually anything outside default /usr/share/icons in SVG format to display, other image formats work, so do SVG icons from default icon change dialog locations such as Places Steps to reproduce: 1. use your own SVG or copy a folder icon of your choice from /usr/share/icons/breeze/places/64/ to your home dir 2. right click on a home dir folder of your choice, select Properties 3. change its icon to the custom SVG file, notice the preview on the 'change icon' button show correct image, click OK Expected outcome: folder icon changes Current outcome: folder icon changes to a generic file icon
updated KDE neon to Applications 16.08.1, Frameworks 5.27.0 & Plasma 5.8.1, still occurs

Is this related to Bug 365131? I can't set SVG icons when editing my application launcher settings :/
Similar or identical issue in Gwenview: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315983
Alex was right, and I was wrong. It is indeed the same issue as Bug 365131, which is caused by a Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63187 We investigated working around this ourselves, but that caused other issues. We'll have to wait for or drive a Qt fix. Thanks for understanding, everyone!
