Example of dropping a custom icon on button

SUMMARY

As a user who customises a lot of folder icons, it would enhance productivity if the file properties dialog (as used in apps like Dolphin) could support drag-and-drop to set a custom icon, as opposed to many steps to achieve the same thing with the file picker.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click a folder → Properties.
2. Drag-and-drop an image file (PNG or SVG) to the icon button.


OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor shows a clashed circle, not possible. Must perform many clicks:
  1. The icon button ("iconButton")
  2. Click "Browse..."
  3. Drag and drop the desired icon.
  4. Accept the file picker.
  5. Accept the icon chooser.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icon button implements the drop event for valid image files.
