Add and extract icons missing

[cimarronline]

In version 0.5.4.13 the add and extract icons are missing from the interface for me. Only small dots appear, though these are clickable. Occurs in gtk3 and gtk2 versions. Changing icon themes (or icon sizes) does not seem to affect it.

Reverting this commit restores add and extract icons: b19a332

Strange.

Do you have the ability to patch and compile xarchiver and send me stderr output from the terminal? If so, I'd provide you with patches to track that issue down.

[cimarronline]

Yes, I'll give it a try. I'm not very experienced with patches, but I managed to make one to revert that commit.

Let's try something simple first. Type find / -name "xarchiver-add*" 2> /dev/null. Is there any output?

[cimarronline]

Yes:

/usr/share/pixmaps/xarchiver/adapta/xarchiver-add.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/xarchiver/xarchiver-add.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/xarchiver-add.png
/usr/share/icons/xarchiver-add.png
/usr/share/icons/Menda-Circle/actions/scalable/xarchiver-add.png

The ones in Menda-Circle and hicolor I added (while troubleshooting) to see if xarchiver would grab them from the icon themes. No effect, though. The other extra ones are just copies I use to replace the default pixmap icon that comes with xarchiver, to make those icons match the icon theme.

Well, that's a lot. Let's see what gets loaded.

Extract the attached patch - for example - in /tmp, change to xarchiver's source directory and apply it by patch -p1 < /tmp/issue57.patch. Compile, run src/xarchiver and post the output.

Somehow in the process of running and rerunning and switching icon themes (and switching back), the icons started appearing (first one, then both). Not sure what made it work. The output from the patched xarchiver was:

0: /home/munn/.local/share/icons
1: /home/munn/.icons
2: /usr/local/share/icons
3: /usr/share/icons
4: /usr/local/share/pixmaps
5: /usr/share/pixmaps

Does that mean it was getting the icons from /usr/share/pixmaps/xarchiver? Anyway, thanks for taking the time (and thanks for xarchiver!). I did learn some more about patching in the process. I'll close this.
