screenshot to show the issue

SUMMARY
The hidden folders (the ones with a dot in the beginning of their name) are smaller than non-hidden ones. That is all

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
There are no steps. I took an update the day before posting this and I just discovered that when I was trying to change something in the .config folder.

OBSERVED RESULT
Hidden folders are showing smaller than non-hidden ones

EXPECTED RESULT
All folders should have the same zise

Thanks for the bug report. I do see in the screenshot that Dolphin, in icons view, shows your dot files with a smaller icon.

I'm not able to replicate this in Dolphin built from git-master or in Plasma 6.2.5. I'll leave this open in case someone else can reproduce it or another contributor with more Dolphin experience can add more insight.

Thank you. It happens in all views, not just icon view. I'm not sure what happened. I don't even use themes other than the default ones. I don't use anything theme related that is 3rd party
Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2025-02-06 05:00:58 UTC
Does this happen with the Breeze icon set? I also can't reproduce the issue.

It happens on all icons. I normally don't use anything but the default Breeze theme, but installed a 3rd party theme to test it, and it did the same. Is there a way to "clear cache" on plasma? Reset it factory settings? I'd do that since I don't really have a bunch of customizations anyway.
Comment 5 Matthew Moore 2025-02-10 07:08:11 UTC
I'm having the same problem. But not every hidden icon.  Some are small, some are large.  Very strange.

Dang, yours is even stranger. lol. Glad it is not on my end. I was honestly thinking of a reinstall. No more.
Comment 8 TraceyC 2025-02-13 00:53:57 UTC
Bug 499644 just got brought to my attention. I wonder if this is related? The other report will be fixed with frameworks 6.11, due Feb 14
Can people please re-test when your systems update to frameworks 6.11? Thanks!
Comment 9 Alek Evans 2025-02-16 08:41:41 UTC
Looks to be the case for any hidden folders/files that have previews accompanying them.

In Bug 500078 this is also affecting folder icons in Details view. It is also linked to having previews enabled.

icon size mismatch

This also happens to me, but in my case not only hidden files and folders.  This started happening when my OS updated to Plasma6.3.0.

Comment 15 deadinside777 2025-02-22 03:12:15 UTC
Plasma 6.3.1 just hit Fedora.  Issue is still there.  I did notice that when increasing the size of icons after a certain point it makes them all uniform again.  In my case 48 pixels and below have the problem of inconsistent size when viewed in details mode, anything larger and they are fine.  Each view mode seems to be different, but increasing icon size beyond a certain point makes them all look the same dimensions.

Screenshot of mixed icon sizes in Dolphin

I also have the issue, except only with hidden files that have a thumbnail.
Empty hidden folders are fine, but hidden folders with files inside that have thumbnails, or hidden files with thumbnails such as .gitconfig or .zshrc are smaller than they should be

Thanks for your replies. It's great to hear the issue is resolved for a few folks.

Kalzi, are you still seeing this problem?

yes, I did. I say I did because my whole system broke completely after an update and I just moved to another distro with a different DE unfortunately :/

That's rough, sorry to hear the system broke so badly. Good luck with your new install.

I'm going to mark this resolved. If someone is still experiencing this bug with Dolphin 25.07.70 or greater, feel free to reopen this report.
