Hi, I recently installed openSUSE Leap 42.2 with KDE 5.8.6 (KDE Frameworks : 5.26, Qt Version: 5.6.1, Theme: Breeze). I configured my desktop layout to "Folder View" and observed some unusual behavior and I need help in resolving them.

1) In KDE 4.x (configured desktop layout to "Folder View"), I used to press F2, enter a new name for a file in the desktop and left-click the mouse anywhere in the desktop area for the file with the new filename to appear. However, this is not the case in Plasma 5 "Folder View" desktop layout. When I press F2 and enter a new name for a file in the desktop, I need to press "Enter" for the filename to change. If I left-click the mouse anywhere in the desktop, the file name does not change. Now, when I open the desktop folder in Dolphin and rename the file, I am able to change the file name by left-clicking anywhere in the Dolphin window. Is this a bug or a new feature in "Folder View" layout ?

2) I am unable to extract "zip" files in the "Folder View" desktop layout because there is no "extract" option in the right-click menu options as shown in the link (http://i.imgur.com/IF7rCBH.png) . When I open the desktop folder in Dolphin, I can see "extract" option in the right-click menu options as shown in the link (http://i.imgur.com/7A1u8Hj.png) and I am able to extract the file. I want to be able to extract the "zip" files directly in the "Folder View" desktop layout instead of opening the file in Dolphin.

3) Tooltip icons of some applications (YAST for example) in the panel is pixalated as shown in the link (http://i.imgur.com/MaVl5eq.png). Some Tooltip icons (Firefox for example) appear normal (http://i.imgur.com/fRW1fr8.png). I guess this has something to do with not having scalable icons in \usr\share\icons but I unable to figure out where to start looking for.

4) I want to change the lock/logout widget icon because it is not clearly visible with my wallpaper background (please see the link: http://i.imgur.com/VM9kfjg.png ). After going through some of the forum posts, I tried to change the "Icon=" line in metadata.desktop located in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.lock_logout/ but there is no change.

Thanks for your help !
