Icon selection preview: filled purple folder
SUMMARY
When choosing the folder-violet icon for a Dolphin Places entry, the
selection preview shows a filled purple folder. After confirming, the
Places panel displays an outline-style purple folder at a small icon size.
The result looks different from the icon I selected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the Breeze Dark icon theme with small icons in Dolphin's Places panel.
2. Add or edit a Places entry.
3. Select the system icon named folder-violet.
4. Observe the filled purple folder in the selection preview.
5. Confirm and compare it with the icon displayed in the Places panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
The preview shows a filled folder, while the small Places icon is an outline.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selection UI should preview the icon as it will actually appear in the
Places panel, or clearly indicate that different sizes use different artwork.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Operating system: Fedora Linux 43 KDE
Dolphin: 26.04.3
Breeze Icons: 6.30.0
KIconThemes: 6.30.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The bookmark correctly stored the icon name folder-violet.
The installed 16px SVG uses outline artwork, while the 32px SVG uses
filled artwork. I understand that size-specific artwork may be intentional;
the confusing part is the mismatch between the selection preview and
the final appearance.
A local workaround was to set the bookmark icon to this explicit file:
/usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/places/32/folder-violet.svg
This displays the desired filled folder even at the small sidebar size.
The workaround is now applied, so the attached screenshots show the
original behavior before the workaround.
