KDE's Breeze icon theme is missing a Compact View icon Thunar uses

This is not a bug with Xfce, just documenting something that I can't elsewhere. Maintainers of Breeze might be interested though I dont have time right now to check whether this bug is already reported).

I've removed KDE's Dolphin (file manager) in favor of Thunar, ( because Thunar has some key advantages over KDE's file manager that I've written about on the forum elsewhere). I made a script that uses xfconf to edit my Thunar...

echo -n "
#   - Add toolbar buttons... "
if     ! [ "$(xfconf-query -c thunar -p /last-toolbar-visible-buttons)" = 0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0 ] \
    || ! [ "$(xfconf-query -c thunar -p /last-toolbar-item-order)" = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15,14,13,16,17 ]; then
  xfconf-query -nc thunar -p /last-toolbar-visible-buttons -t string -s \
    0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0
  xfconf-query -nc thunar -p /last-toolbar-item-order -t string -s \
    0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,11,15,14,13,16,17
else
  echo -n "ALREADY "
fi;echo -n "ADDED (View + Split)"

However after doing this it becomes clear that an icon is missing from the Breeze Theme, namely 'view-compact-symbolic'.

I'll check whether this is in bug reports in the week ahead. Maybe readers will like how I edit the toolbar automatically with the code above.

Privacy is a human right... I use Tor Browser in Safest Mode to block js, and dragged NoScript addon back into the toolbar to enable js on worthy sites. I add uBlock so it matches Tails' fingerprint.
