            Bug ID: 391889
           Summary: User set icons are not remembered after update
           Product: kmenuedit
           Version: 5.12.3
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

I have noticed that with the most recent batch of updates (I am on KDE Neon)
some of my custom icons are being completely removed. They just show up blank.

Ok but looking at the dock you may say is a latte dock issue. No. It is an
issue with the desktop files from ~/.local/share/applications/. You see, I am
adding an inherit to the breeze icons, specifically
`Inherits=la-capitain-dark,hicolor` this allows me to have the la-capitaine as
a fallback. Unfortunately the updates for the breeze icons overwrite the change
I have. Even more so, is that even trying to restart plasma after adding the
inherit does not solve the problem... so I thik is an inherit problem with the
editor itself. 

In the desktop files they are referenced by name, not by path. Example:
`Icon=waterfox`
Or as if I were to set it to the full path:
`Icon=/usr/share/icons/la-capitaine-dark/apps/scalable/waterfox.svg`

I have waterfox (which is from a binary) but custom profiles (waterfox -p
profile) are fine (created through the menu), TOR (again binary), Dolphin
(which I only changed it's icon, discord (deb install) have their icons
removed.

I am not sure why this happens persay. Even in the .local/share/applications
the files have no icons.
