#1851 Ship main icons in png format

[ochurlaud]

I don't know if it's a bug on your side or on the packaging one. If the latter, please tell me so that I'll report there.

On KDE's Plasma TXS did not have an icon in the taskmanager. I found out that it was because it doesn't ship png files in the /usr/share/icons/...x.../apps/ directories

According to this thread [1] and this freedesktop entry [2] it should.

this is mainly a packaging issue. Which OS are you refering to ?

[ochurlaud]

As always: I'm the guy who uses archlinux :)

[Jan Sundermeyer]

As we don't offer the arch package, nothing we dcan do ...

[ochurlaud]

Yes but while knowing it , I can open a bug to my distrib

I experience the same problem when using KDE Neon which is based on Ubuntu 16.04. I assume the same problem would exist for Kubuntu. I installed the program by using the package provided by TexStudio website (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsundermeyer/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/texstudio_2.11.2-7.1_amd64.deb).

The problem is solved if I create the pngs by myself and logout/login. Would it be possible to include png icon files in future deb files?

I used the following script to generate the png files from the shipped svg file:

regex="\/([0-9]+)x"
for d in  $(ls -d /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*x*/apps/); do
        if [[ "${d}" =~ $regex ]]; then
                dimension=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
                inkscape /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/texstudio.svg --export-png="${d}"/texstudio.png --export-width=${dimension} --export-height=${dimension}
        fi
done
