Description Christian Stadelmann 2014-10-01 14:00:54 UTC 
Not all icons returned by g_app_info_get_all have the same icon size

Additional info:
When running gnome-tweak-tool to edit autostart applications the application chooser uses g_app_info_get_all via python. This application chooser shows different application icons for some applications like git-cola or ettercap. Those applications provide only a few icons (not the size displayed here) so g_app_info_get_all seems to use the SVG icons but fails to scale them to a normal size.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2014-10-14 13:37:53 UTC 
gio doesn't return icons per se - it just returns icon names. It is the applications responsibility to install icons in the necessary sizes.
Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2014-10-16 22:06:03 UTC 
So this is a bug in the application with wrong icon sizes?
Comment 3 Christian Stadelmann 2016-04-07 12:22:50 UTC 
The original issue with gnome-tweak-tool is gone.
