because I hope for some synergy (see the example at the bottom of this post). ]
Hi devs,
I know, the following might not be a very pressing one, but it is a
long-standing issue on MacPorts [1]
Many KDE applications are not showing their application icon correctly. For
visual people it can be a show-stopper, which is why I want to bring it up on
KDE-DEVEL.
Here in my MacPorts installation I have in KDE 4.12.2 in total 55 KDE
applications listed in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/.
ONLY 11 of these 55 actually show a proper application icon. (I could post a
screenshot somewhere, in case of need.)
Well, the apps which are able to supply an application icon are:
dolphin.app
kapptemplate.app
kfind.app
khelpcenter.app
kmymoney.app
kompare.app
kuiviewer.app
kwrite.app
lokalize.app
okteta.app
umbrello.app
Of the remaining 55 there are certainly some which belong to applications which
are only launchers for something or helper apps, but some are certainly normal
applications which should be supplying an icon. I consider the following as
such:
cervisia.app
kate.app
kdenlive.app
kdevelop.app
konqueror.app
An example:
-----------------
KMyMoney obviously does something differently compared to KDevelop, since the
latter is on MacOSX/MacPorts NOT ABLE to deliver the application icon to OSX’
finder and dock.
If one has added KDevelop to OSX’ dock, one can actually see only a generic
Xcode-application-icon for KDevelop as long as it is not started.
Once you start up KDevelop you’ll see that the icon immediately switches to the
correct one.
As soon as KDevelop is closed the icon reverts back to the generic one.
However, KMyMoney does NOT do such a dance!
Any ideas what could be the reason?
Greets,
Marko
