Hi all.

I'm using Kubuntu 13.04 beta 2 with Dolphin 2.2 (KDE API 4.10.2) , trying to set the directory icons for some mounted SMB shares in Dolphin, but the icon I am choosing is not showing.

Here's an example:


In this screengrab, the dev and downloads directories are local, and setting a custom icon works. The music directory is a mounted SMB share, but the custom icon isn't showing. The share has read/write permissions, and the .directory file is being created.

Code: Select all

$ ls -l music/.directory
-rw------- 1 drtwox drtwox 34 Apr 21  2013 music/.directory
$ cat music/.directory
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=folder-music


The .directory files created by Dolphin in dev and downloads also have permissions set to 600.

Any ideas about why the custom icon for SMB shares will not show in Dolphin? What further information would be required from me to solve this problem?

But David actually fixed this issue in KDE 4.10.2.

changed solved, to unsolved per freininghaus's post

So you're saying it should work?

No, I'm not. I looked into this and came to the conclusion that there are two different issues here:

(a) The issue that google01103 referred to is that custom icons for "slow" local file systems were not loaded. This is fixed in KDE 4.10.2.

(b) KFileItem does not support custom icon loading for files on non-local file systems (including smb:).
