Missing icons in AppImage

[stefanbaur]

Hi Klaas,

Comparing the two regions in the screenshot above, the green region has icons, while the red one does not. This happens when using the Appimage "kraft-master-0.98+git13+g006b8bf-lp152.50.1.Build3.2.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage", but also with older versions.

I haven't tried out non-AppImage versions yet.

Is this intentional?

Kind Regards, Stefan

I have the same problem with the AppImage AND the Debian package. The only way for me to get the icons showing on Debian is compiling the package myself and I have yet to find out why I suddenly succeeded....

It might be necessary to talk to the release engineer doing the Debian package and talk about all the things found in https://lintian.debian.org/sources/kraft and update the packaging process.

Stefan's original issue was caused by him using a Trinity (i.e., KDE 3) icon theme, which doesn't support/supply icons such as edit-copy, folder-documents etc.

Newer Plasma (KDE 5, maybe even 4) themes do, though, so it's actually a theming issue.

This said, QIcon::fromTheme can be given a fallback icon in case the icon theme does not provide the icon it has been queried for, and the fallback icon can be baked into the binary (as a QResource). I'd advise shipping and providing fallback icons for things that might not be available in themes.

Same problem here:

I don't have the slightest idea where the icons are coming from on my system. A "naked" ChromeOS Debian container doesn't have much pre-installed GUI lebraries at all -- you would be surprised about the stuff being brought in by apt install xterm.
