Description RaitaroH 2018-02-01 12:57:15 UTC 
In Nemo (from Cinnamon) when you change a folder icon, the file manager opens the folder in question to look for an icon. Dolphin doesn't quite to that nor does it remember a icon folder location either (defaults to home) and it is really hard to change a lot of icons to some random icon you have. I am obviously referring to using custom icons not found in the icon theme used by the system.
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2018-02-01 22:14:32 UTC 
So you would like the file picker to default to the current directory, not the user's home folder?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2018-02-01 23:18:03 UTC 
From quickly checking:

https://cgit.kde.org/kiconthemes.git/tree/src/kiconbutton.cpp#n160 does not open the KIconDialog with the currently selected icon. Maybe using setCustomLocation() for icons with a path helps.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2018-02-01 23:19:08 UTC 
Hm, that's for KIconButton, but dolphin probably directly uses the KIconDialog.
Comment 4 RaitaroH 2018-02-02 04:51:12 UTC 
Would be nice to have the options to:
1. open the folder the icons is changed for
2. open some other folder that user wants (have a setting for this). Or at least default to the last used folder for icons.
