GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 524392
custom icons show no frame
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:17:56 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm using the latest version of Nautilus, on Ubuntu Hardy. Since some time ago, folders with a custom icon do not show a frame even if the original images used as a thumbnail do show a frame. In fact, NO element with a custom icon shows a frame. You can right-click a random image, set another image as its thumbnail, and you'll get no frame either. All thumbnailed elements should have a frame. Removing the frame removes the shadow, too, which breaks the illusion that desktop elements "cast a shadow" on the desktop. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

This bug is still present in 2.24. Last time folders with a custom icon were thumbnailed correctly was 2.20. When bitmap image is set as a custom icon for a folder, tiny (48px high) borderless thumbnail is generated instead of nice thumbnail with frame and dropshadow.
Just an update - I can still see this bug in 2.24.2. Please note this is not just an aesthetic glitch - it seems to have some performance issues, too, as folder with "broken" custom icons now loads very slowly and with high CPU load.
Just an update - there are other people out there experiencing this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6949438 (There is also nice screenshot demonstrating the problem there).

Created attachment 140614 [details] Screenshot comparing file thumbnails to folder thumbnails Thumbnailed images don't match custom folder icons. I'm attaching a picture (was going to report this bug), my music albums folder used too look like the left side of this screenshot, now it lookshey increase very little and but with final zoom factor they get enormous. The folders use a terrible lot of white space around them at all zoom factors. Compact layout helps, but destroys the grid arrangement. Does anyone know which code part is involved? Gio icon port introduced this? Debian bug is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481339&archived=no&mbox=no

I managed to cut my own comment. "my music albums folder used too look like the left side of this screenshot, now it looks like the left side, with lots of space. The folder icons also scale mysteriously with the zoom factor; they first increase very little and but with final zoom factor they get enormous."
Mass component change due to BZ cleanup, sorry for the noise.
Pushed a fix for this to git master now, closing.
Unfortunately this broke too many existing assumptions about how those icons appear; e.g. Sparkleshare uses this property to set a custom icon for its folder. I reverted the change now.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
