Git commit 872c9990a9f8ef25239542e72dfc4b7cd5e89341 by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 28/05/2026 at 08:12. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. Positioner: Fix disappearing icons on rename When icons were renamed, they were not compared to the old items name, but to the same new name. This caused the positioner to think nothing had changed. In FolderModel we want to set the data to the folderModel itself, not KDirModel, since FolderModel already handles that. This makes sure our models do not get out of sync.
