Dear Maintainer,

Dolphin is pretty hard to use in my Gnome session since no icons are showing up.
I have tried the following:
- Install qt5ct and qt6ct and configure an icon theme (I tried Breeze and GNOME, neither works).
  I had QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME set to both qt5ct and qt6ct but neither makes the icons work.
- Install plasma-integration and set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to kde.
- Set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to gtk3.
  (I have qt6-gtk-platformtheme installed but that package does not seem to contain any relevant files?)

I assume this is not a Dolphin issue but a general KDE issue, but I am not sure which package it would belong to.

Kind regards,
Ralf

Do you have the package "qt6-svg-plugins" installed ? It should be
installed automatically with libqt6gui6 if you have recommended packages
enabled.

Hi Patrick,

Turns out no, I did not! I guess I used "--no-install-recommends" at some point
to avoid pulling in too much of KDE when I just want to use a KDE application,
not the entire desktop environment.

After installing that, Dolphin now has icons. Thanks a lot!

Maybe it would be worth adding this as a "Depends:" somewhere, e.g. the breeze
icon set or wherever the KDE Qt6 platform theme lives?

Kind regards,
Ralf
