wel lit';s entirely missing the store/SOMELONGUUIDSTRING bit entirely...
enlightenment does indeed modify XDG_DATA_DIRS. specifically if it is not set
it sets it to:
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s:%s/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share",
e_prefix_data_get(), p);
so that means whatever install prefix e is in + /share, then /usr/local/share
and then /usr/share.
if it is set e PREPENDS to the env var like:
if (s)
{
Eina_Bool pfxdata, pfx;
pfxdata = !_xdg_check_str(s, e_prefix_data_get());
snprintf(newpath, sizeof(newpath), "%s/share", p);
pfx = !_xdg_check_str(s, newpath);
if (pfxdata || pfx)
{
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s%s%s%s%s",
pfxdata ? e_prefix_data_get() : "",
pfxdata ? ":" : "",
pfx ? newpath : "",
pfx ? ":" : "",
s);
e_util_env_set("XDG_DATA_DIRS", buf);
}
}
so basically it's looking to see if e's prefix is already accounted for in the
env var, if it is NOT then it prepends PREFIX/share/enlightenment 9tyhis is
actually pointless but won't hort except to cause a false hunt for icons there
and it'll go onto the next dir), then PREFIX/share, then what was in the env
var to begin with. it's basically ensuring that e's enlightenment-X icon theme
can be found (and then a bit in addition). so the env var you gave to begin
with makes sense the "long id strings" are where e has figureout out it's
installed (nix/store/mip8jx89p9h8dixngwhhcwnhxvs5a0rv-enlightenment-0.24.1 is
the runtime detected prefix). everything after that is from your environment
so /run/current-system/sw/share is there at the end and that is where
icons/hicolor is so ... it's found.
so where are the firefox etc. icons? ar they in the data dirs search path at
all (remember these just indicate the share dirs - inside of that an icons dir
is expected then a dir for name of icon theme and so on)? Enlightenment-X
doesnt ship with app icons as there really is a massive numbr to then make and
ship, so it'll be depending on the icons in XXX/icons/hilcolor or
XXX/share/pixmaps or in some icon theme you selected... ?
