[Kexi-devel] Icons installed by apps

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

Hello,
A couple of related questions while wrestling with issues such as [1].

Let's assume Kexi app installs some icons to
PREFIX/share/kexi/icons/oxygen/32x32/places/ or
PREFIX/share/kexi/icons/breeze/32x32/places.
Can these be searched by the icon engine?

In kdelibs4 times PREFIX/share/apps/kexi/icons/oxygen/ was searched at
least and icons were used if names were globally unique (overriding
mimetype icons did not work).

Now in kf5 times I guess I shouldn't install to
PREFIX/share/icons/breeze? I do not feel safe with this. I don't even
know if it's breeze/ subdir or some other name is guaranteed to exist
on a kf5 installation. However if I have guarantees, I am fine with
any solution.

Next thing is, when I installed .svg icons to
PREFIX/share/icons/breeze - they are found and used, but .svgz are not
found.

I debugged using strace, are there any magic env variables that let me
debug the search process deeply on app startup? Or the icon cache?
Maybe I forgot what's that.

Are these things noted down somewhere already?
I am especially interested in place and mimetype and places icons
installed by apps.
