            Bug ID: 508461
           Summary: Favicon URL field fails to fetch favicon from domain
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
      Version First 5.2.0
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: ux-ui
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Steps to Reproduce

Open the account editor in KMyMoney.

Paste a valid domain URL into the Favicon URL field.

Observe whether the favicon loads.

Alternatively:
4. Paste a direct link to an image (e.g. .png or .svg) into the same field.
5. Observe the result.

Expected Behavior

When a domain URL is provided, the application should fetch the favicon from
that domain.

When a direct image URL is provided, it should use that image as-is for the
account icon.

Actual Behavior

For many domains, nothing is fetched and no icon appears.

When pasting direct links to hosted image files, the application does not use
the image but instead attempts to fetch the favicon of the image host's domain.

This leads to incorrect icons (or none at all) with no warning or error shown
to the user.

Suggestions

Make the field strictly interpret the input as a direct image URL when
applicable.

If a domain is given, attempt favicon resolution but inform the user if it
fails.

Provide fallback options or previews for better user control.
