[Digikam-users] digiKam 5.0.0 from philip5 PPA missing icons

[Philip Johnsson]

I just tested digkam 5 on xubuntu 16.04 and this made the icons appear for
me. Didn't even have to install any additional packages. Could you test it
on your installation?

Install digikam5 and start it. No icons will appear. Go into Digikam 5 menu
Settings > Configure > Miscellaneous and change from the blank setting of
"Icon theme" to Breeze. Restart Digikam 5. Now you should see icons in the
Digikam 5 GUI.

I tested Dark Breeze icons theme that you can also choose but at the moment
it seam to miss some icons. I have to troubleshoot where those extra Dark
Breeze icons are located in what packages and make the extra packages with
Dark Breeze icons suggested packages or dependent packages when installing
digikam5.

Looks like Digikam 5 doesn't know what theme to choose by default if you
have never started kde/plasma as desktop before. Looks like this have to be
chosen manually in this not obvious way when first starting Digikam 5 on
non-kde/plasma.

It's not really a package or build thing but how Qt5/KF5 select icon theme
if never have been run like this before. Not sure if this could be handled
by Digikam 5 as a default if nothing else have been selected before. Maybe
should be reported as a bug on non-KDE/Plasma desktop systems.
