Bug ID: 418062
Summary: Can't specify svg full path for icon in .desktop file
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Full Path - With Extension
SUMMARY
When specifying the full path of a svg icon (ie /path/icon.svg), with or
without the ".svg" extension specified, for an icon in a .desktop file the icon
can't render in either dolphin or in the application launcher. When using the
icon in the default icons path the icon displays correctly.
This results in various applications that uses custom icon paths for svg icons
to not display correctly in the application launcher and dolphin.
As test case the following can be done to reproduce (Using KCalc as an example,
same problem can be found for JetBrains IDEs and multiple other applications):
1) Copy accessories-calculator.svg from default theme folders to desktop, ie
/home/user/desktop.
2) Open /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kcalc.desktop
3) Edit icon path for following three scenarios:
3a) Use full path: icon=/home/user/desktop/accessories-calculator.svg =>
Result: .desktop file does not display icon.
3b) Use full path excluding extension:
icon=/home/user/desktop/accessories-calculator.svg => Result: .desktop file
does not display icon.
3c) Use default icon path: icon=accessories-calculator or
icon=accessories-calculator.svg => Result: .desktop file displays icon.
EXPECTED RESULT
Icons should be displayed when full file paths, with the extension specified,
are used.
