Created attachment 179541 [details] All the Android aps show the same generic Android icon SUMMARY Dolphin doesn't display icons for Android (APK) applications STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download a few applications for Android from F-droid. 2. Open the folder where you downloaded them. OBSERVED RESULT All applications have a generic Android icon. EXPECTED RESULT All applications have their own individual icon. Similar to how other types of executables have their icons shown. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux (Debian 13 - unstable repository)/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.17-amd64 (64-bit) Mesa Version: 25.0.1-2 Graphics Platform: Wayland HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS Hardware: Laptop Dell Inspiron 5770 (17" 1080p@60Hz screen) CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz (4 cores, 8 threads) GPU 1: Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (main, Vulkan capable) GPU 2: AMD Radeon R5 M465 Series RAM: 8 GiB (7.7 GiB usable) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since the .apk files are nothing more than just ZIP archives with a different extension than usual: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3599219 It should be possible to look inside it and find the icon. And this answer here confirms that it's possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14483827 For development / debugging the 'aapt' tool can be used, which will display a lot of information about an .apk file, including which icon(s) it uses: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14484950 Somebody also made a thumbnailer for Plasma: https://github.com/z3ntu/kde-thumbnailer-apk And somebody else made one for Gnome https://github.com/adam-devel/apk-thumbnailer But it would be really great if this was a built-in capability that Dolphin has, similar to how it can display icons for .AppImage files and for .exe files. Working with multiple APK files, copying / moving them to the Android phone's memory through the file manager or through the scrcpy tool is a pain without icons and makes us lose time as we have to read all the names for each file to find the right one. It's good that a generic Android icon i shown, but that doesn't help at all when all the files in the folder are APK files. Which you can see how it looks in the attached print screen.
Since there's a per-existing extension for this, it seems worth looking into this feature request
