[Flatpak] icon is missing within GNOME Desktop

[antistress]

Hi,
I'm using the brand new flatpak version (thank you for it !)
Here is the bug I face :
I set Liferea 1°) to display toolbar and 2°) so that my vertical space is divided into two equal parts, with the internal browser at the bottom.
Each time I close Liferea, I have to re-set Liferea because toolbar is not displayed and internal browser is hidden at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks !

Also icon is missing within GNOME Desktop (Activities Overview mode and dash). Do you want me to fill a separate bug for that ?

@mikelolasagasti Can you advise on this?

[mikelolasagasti]

@antistress I'm able to show/hide toolbar and change views correctly after exiting Liferea flatpak.

Can you check with something more simple like the "Default number of items per feed to save"? The default is 100, change it to 99 or 101 for example (Tools -> Preferences), close Liferea (Ctrl+ Q or Subscriptions -> Quit) and open again.

If it doesn't work, can you describe what platform are you using? It is working fine for me on Fedora 32 both Flathub build and local build.

About the icons, I submitted a patch to Flathub and next version should work fine. Build is ready but I don't know when it will published. Can you check when update is available for you?

@lwindolf I'll submit the patch as PR if @antistress can confirm icons are working in next update.

@antistress build can be tested manually with:

flatpak install --user  https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/29172/net.sourceforge.liferea.flatpakref

interesting.
I changed for 99 and 101 and the setting is saved.

But not for display toolbar or for the size of the internal browser

Since it's about flatpak I don't think that the ref of the platform is important, but here it is :

@antistress build can be tested manually with:

flatpak install --user  https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/29172/net.sourceforge.liferea.flatpakref

Have I the choice between waiting for the update and that command ?
if that's the case I'd rather wait for the update
Thanks

@antistress I'm able to show/hide toolbar and change views correctly after exiting Liferea flatpak.

I suppose you did the test with TrayIcon plugin deactivated so that Liferea doesn't stay alive in RAM when closed ?

[antistress]

About the toolbar, the situation is weirder than announced since when Liferea is started, toolbar is not displayed AND "hide the toolbar" setting is not activated.
I have 1st to tick and then untick the setting to get the toolbar back

[antistress]

(I could make a screencast if needed)

[Leiaz]

@antistress You are using the Header bar plugin ? That plugin hides the toolbar, because the guidelines for the headerbar is that it is supposed to replace toolbars and menus. See #744

[antistress]

You are using the Header bar plugin ?

Yes, that was the cause, nice point.

Therefore this bug is only about the vertical space division between titles and content page not being saved

[antistress]

(also the icon bug is now solved, thanks !)

[Leiaz]

That is not a Flatpak issue either. If the default max items value is saved, then this value is saved too. This is a duplicate of #901.

[antistress]

Ok, thanks !

[nekohayo]

Since this is a duplicate of issues #744 and #901, nothing remains to be done here, this ticket should be closed. #744 should probably be renamed for clarity too.

[antistress]

Finally the issue that have been adressed is icon missing within GNOME Desktop.
Title changed and bug is closed
