Re: [Solved] A strange emblem appeared

It didn't work here with 4.14 not even with reboot. Tried with diferent icon themes and it didn't work, although removing emblem works fine.

Re: [Solved] A strange emblem appeared

On this system (Xfce 4.14, thunar 1.8.15) I had to prefix with "emblem-" ala:

gio set -t stringv  "/path/to/folder" metadata::emblems "emblem-default"

On my home computer (running the latest version of git) I didn't need to do that. Will need to look closer.

Re: [Solved] A strange emblem appeared

Great! That did the trick. In fact, although 'emblem-' doesn't show in the context menu -> properties -> emblems, the icons file names include it.
So I guess it's 'calling' the filename and not the generic emblem name. It works even with custom emblems. And adding

pkill -HUP xfdesktop

after the command it does the same as F5. Like said in the pkill man examples concerning Operands, it makes xfdesktop reread its configuration file:

 2: Make syslog reread its configuration file:
              $ pkill -HUP 

Thanks ToZ!
