Xapp: icon chooser hangs when selecting a path #9

Closed startfree0 closed 2 years ago

startfree0 commented 2 years ago

When entering a new System Menu item, you are allowed to select an icon. This can be one of many icons already in the build or a user defined icon. In previous versions of Linux Mint this worked fine, In LM 21 you can use the internal icons but NOT a user defined icon. If you attempt to use a user defined icon the dialog box shows a spinning "Loading..." symbol which never stops. This prevents the external icon from being used.

@startfree0 Could you list the precise steps to reproduce please ? Example:

  1. Open menu > category > item
  2. Click this button
  3. Browse to image
  4. Etc.

Get to the "Menu Edit" dialog of the System Menu, I have a new item already added. Click on item, then click on "Properties". This brings up the "Launcher Properties" dialog box. Click on icon. This brings up "Choose an icon" dialog box. Don't select an icon but rather click "Browse" and navigate to a directory where your user provided icon resides. In this case I select the Pale Moon icon in the package downloaded. Click on Open. Goes back to "Choose an icon" dialog where you see an empty dialog box and a spinning "Loading..." text in the corner. Normally the user defined icon would show up as an item in the dialog, where you would double click it to select and the icon would appear in the items "Launcher Properties" Not in LM21 however.

@startfree0 This is better. Thanks. Still better would be to press ⏎ (Enter key) after each step:

  1. Step one
  2. Step two
  3. Step three

You could click on the ⋯ (menu) on top-right to edit your post. Thanks.

Wait....What???

SebastJava commented 2 years ago

That's okay. Don't worry. Just my own preferences as a designer... I will follow your instructions as you typed it. I am not ready yet, still installing...

SebastJava commented 2 years ago

Confirmed on a live session on VirtualBox. I will try again with a real install, with guest additions. Later today... NOTE: I didn't install any new package or application. Just tried replacing the Rhythmbox icon with my small SVG: https://github.com/SebastJava/linuxmint-logo/blob/master/trident.svg

Half-confirmed... Installed on VirtualBox but without the software updates yet... NOTE: I did a more simple test... I just tried to change the menu icon itself... I will confirm after software updates, Guest additions rebuild for latest kernel if needed, etc.

I have the same issue.

SebastJava commented 2 years ago

ALL CONFIRMED on VirtualBox > Cinnamon install > mintUpdate all up-to-date > Guest additions installed > restarted

I can confirm it's fixed in Cinnamon 5.4.4.
