Created attachment 177308 [details] An example where a folder has an icon, but the "Add place entry" menu does not use that icon When creating a new place entry and specifying a folder, one must look for an icon manually, even when the folder already has an icon. One way of achieving this is to add a button next to the folder path entry, something like "Use same Icon as folder".

Git commit 14f01dc42e4c39eb2ee75fab7aead29f2108af4f by Nate Graham. Committed on 17/01/2025 at 14:52. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. kfileplacesview: when adding new places item, let it figure out the icon This is better than hardcoding it to the folder icon, since the location you're creating a new Places item for may have a custom icon. KFilePlaceEditDialog::getInformation can figure out the icon if we allow it to; do so.
