[SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

I am on XFCE Arch Linux and on Whiskers menu I want to add two custom menu with subentries. I imported two custom menus from Kali Linux (as .menu files) but the icons specified for the subentries are not applied.

The .menu file that call the two custom menus, Red Team and Blue Team, is "/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu":

and, for example, if we consider Information Gathering subentry stored in "/usr/share/desktop-directories" and its .directory file as:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Information Gathering
Name[fr]=Récupération d'informations
Name[es]=Recopilación de Información
Name[hr]=Prikupljanje Informacija
Name[de]=Informationsbeschaffung
Name[it]=Recupero Informazioni
Name[zh_CN]=信息收集
Name[zh_HK]=信息收集
Name[zh_TW]=信息收集
Type=Directory
Icon=kali-info-gathering-trans

and kali-info-gathering-trans icon is stored in "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/categories/kali-info-gathering-trans.svg". Despite this, submenu entry, like the other ones in this red and blue-applications menu, don't appear. The strange fact is that in GNOME they work. Furthermore, if I try to change icon name or Icon= value to an icon named "blueteam" that is in the same folder of "kali-info-gathering-trans.svg" icon (and same pixel size and permission (755), it works. Why XFCE or Whisker is not able to detect the icon of subentries by particular names?

Note that the icons like kali-info-gathering-trans.svg that dont appear in Whisker submenus, in GNOME they work well.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

Where did you (or did you) put the "00-red-team.directory" and "00-blue-team.directory" files?

Note that the icons like kali-info-gathering-trans.svg that dont appear in Whisker submenus, in GNOME they work well.

That would depend on the icon themes that are being used in the respective environments. Perhaps the icon theme in Gnome has them, but not the one in Xfce.

I stored both of those files in "/usr/share/desktop-directories/"

The icon theme where I stored those icons is "hicolor" that I think it is possible to find in a lot of distros.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

Can you post the output of the following commands:

ls -l /usr/share/desktop-directories
ls -l /etc/xdg/menus
ls -l ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
ls -l ~/.config/menus
fgrep -ri 01-info-gathering /usr/share/applications
xfconf-query -c xsettings -lv

The icon theme where I stored those icons is "hicolor" that I think it is possible to find in a lot of distros.

Did you rebuild the icon cache after putting the files there?

sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

...and are the icon files you put in there the same type (extension)?

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

kali-info-gathering-trans icon is stored in "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/categories/kali-info-gathering-trans.svg".

Try putting the icon in the non-scalable side of hicolor - specifically in the hicolor/64x64/categories folder then rebuild the icon cache again. You may need to add variations of the icon size into each of the other sizes, but try this one first.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

Tried copying the icon there and trying also to resize it as 64x64 but, even if I rebuilt the icon cache and restart the xfce4 panel, I get the same result sadly.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

@ToZ I noted that this issue occurs only on Whisker menu. If I use the traditional Applications menu of xfce, the icons are shown correctly. If i use Whisker menu, no.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

Hmm. I can't replicate this, but my process is slightly different. Here is my test:

1. Create a test directory file in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories called "toz.directory" with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ToZ
Comment=Toz Test Category
Icon=toz-category
Type=Directory

2. Create a "toz-category.png" icon file, put it into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps and rebuild the cache:

sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

3. Create a merged applications menu file in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged called "toz-category.menu" with the following content:

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd">
<!-- Do not edit manually - generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu -->
<Menu>
    <Name>ToZ</Name>
<Menu>
    <Name>ToZ Apps</Name>
    <Directory>toz.directory</Directory>
    <Include>
        <Filename>galculator.desktop</Filename>
    </Include>
</Menu>
</Menu>

...(note: I've created an entry here for galculator).

4. Copy /usr/share/icons/galculator.desktop (you can use any file here, just make sure you edit the menu file in step 3 to accomodate) to ~/.local/share/applications and change the Categories= line to read:

Categories=toz-category;

Any both the applications menu and thee whiskermenu both automatically adapt to display the category and the menu.

I understand that your process is a little different, but can you try the test steps above to see if it works?

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

@ToZ I noted that this issue occurs only on Whisker menu. If I use the traditional Applications menu of xfce, the icons are shown correctly. If i use Whisker menu, no.

Try restarting the panel:

xfce4-panel -r

What version of the whiskermenu are you using?

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

I did your test above. But your test is done on a .desktop file. Indeed if I apply the icon on a .desktop file it works, even if I call the Icon from my hicolor path.

It seems that the issue occurs only when the Icon is applied to .directory file that I use as subentry of an existing menu.

Whisker version:

xfce4-popup-whiskermenu --version

xfce4-popup-whiskermenu 2.8.0

Since this seems to only be happening with the whiskermenu (the applications menu doesn't have the problem), perhaps best to create a bug report.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE Whisker does not recognize icons set in .directory files

Bug opened: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/x … issues/116

I also attached one of the icon images involved in this issue.

UPDATE: the cause has been discovered on the issue ticket opened. It seems to be still a bug but the cause has been discovered.
