Created attachment 181952 [details] Specific folders don't show the modified folder icon when added to the places panel SUMMARY When you drag and drop certain folders to the places panel (specifically: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates) it does not appear with the correct custom folder icon. You need to right-click on these specific folders in the places panel and select Edit > Choose an icon > then select the icon you want. Only then will it change. This behaviour is different from adding any other folder to the places panel which will immediately reflect the modified folder icon. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a custom folder icon for any of the following folders located in your home folder: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public or Templates (or any external USB drives/hard drives) 2. Drag (or right click > add to places) any of the above mentioned folders into the places panel on the left OBSERVED RESULT The default folder icon for these folders is displayed in the places panel EXPECTED RESULT The modified folder icons for these folders should be displayed in the places panel SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.12.28-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please see the attached video
I forgot to add that the Videos folder has this same issue as well. (Basically all the XDG folders)
I can reproduce on a Fedora KDE 42 device. Thanks! Looks like an edge case somewhat related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356045 , the solution to which covers custom icons for general folders, but might always use the icon theme's standard icons for XDG directories based on https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/v6.15.0/src/core/global.cpp?ref_type=tags#L193 ?
