​I see, adding the old names now just for this single reason. I am assuming
2.9 is done and no icon renaming happens there :)

FYI:
Regarding scripts I am renaming icons in calligra master in real time and I
am not sure the same script will work if Kexi uses no koIcon for own icons.
In fact nobody should use that as this won't work. My hacky approach only
works when I have frameworks integration package uninstalled.

I imagine that the day when Calligra 3 apps will run without icons because
of  some untested scenarios, people will just uninstall it and spread the
negative word :/
Look, that's possible if even maintainers have problems to sort out icons
problems in their apps after several major releases of KF5. Last time icons
were a challenge in... 1980? Or so.

And some other threads.

That said, let me mention it again, I am seriously looking to use qrc
file(s) for Kexi. This is already the only reasonable approach in Qt-only
code that sit in Qt libraries Kexi depends on. The libs should be usable
for Qt-only apps on platforms without any plasma and integration modules.

With .qrc files we'll have different schema for icon names, :/

If there are Calligra apps that share this approach, libs/ will have to do
the same, so it's all-or-nothing I guess. Kexi goes to kexi.git anyway so
whatever happens to Kexi don't "break" other apps.
