Bug Description

In previous versions of digikam it did not install a hicolor icon, so the only icon source for unity was the debian-menu's low-resolution xpm icon. When upstream grew support for hicolor the packaging was not updated accordingly so the low-res icon problem remains.
This affects all environments but KDE's workspace but can easily be resolved by actually fixing the packaging to include the hicolor icons.

[Test Case]
* Check that /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/digikam.png is present
--
* Log into unity and check that aforementioned icon is used and has an appropriate resolution

[Regression Potential]
None.

--------------------
Binary package hint: unity

Digikam icon does not scale in the application launcher even though icon format is SVG. Digikam developer suggested that the bug would be in Ubuntu (unity), not digiKam. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit with digiKam 2.0-beta5 and all other icons scale beautifully. Will attach image to illustrate the problem.

Image of the digikam icon on Ubuntu 11.04

Version: 2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2)
OS: Linux

Ubuntu 11.04 uses new desktop interface Unity and it has application launcher on the left side, where most used (and active) applications can be seen. DigiKam icon pixelates terribly when it is streched to fill the space. Could you create icon that scales better?

Reproducible: Always

Sound like an Unity problem...

Thank you for your bug report, is that still an issue in Oneiric?

Yes, the icon still does not scale correctly in Oneiric. In the Alt+Tab switcher it looks specially ugly.

Not sure what's the right fix.
 * add digikam png to fallback hi-color theme?
 * add a svg version? What's unities perference?
 * or ... ?

Reopening as upstream is not sure how to fix this, perhaps you have more information or a suggestion for them. Please see comments #5 and #6 of the Launchpad bug report:

thats something Unity can't fixed, it seems digikam ships with 32*32 icon by default. the bug needs to be fixed in the app itself.

Can you disprove it please?

As digikam at the moment stores it's high quality icons only in the oxygen icon theme,
unity and gnome will not find them by default. So please try:

# Copy digikam icons from oxygen to the fallback hicolor theme.
cd /usr/share/icons/oxygen
sudo rsync -vR */apps/digikam.png ../hicolor

If not found:
   sudo apt-get install oxygen-icon-theme
try teh rsync again.

Logout/in and try again.

If one still sees the ugly icons, move them to a location that is not searched, e.g., your home dir

  sudo mv -v /usr/share/pixmaps/digikam*.xpm $HOME/

Logout/in and try again.

Totally an upstream issue:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons

So as a matter of fact the only reason there is an icon to begin with is because of the debian-menu icons we have there (which really is not all that relevant anymore seeing as above mentioned spec + the desktop entry spec pretty much solve the same problem in a distro independent fashion).

Solution: upstream needs to install at least a 48x48 icon to hicolor in accordance with the specification recommendation.

Hi Harald,

I had a look. the bug in not upstream, it's kubuntu packaging :-( During a debuild, cmake install installs the icons
to debian/tmp/ but we don't copy them to any pkg:

(0)allee-q@lap-allee:~/Source/digikam/digikam-2.7.0$ find . -iname digikam*png
./doc/digikam/digikam/digikamlogo.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/digikam/digikamlogo.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/digikam.png
./debian/tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/digikam.png
./debian/digikam-doc/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/digikam/digikamlogo.png

Same problem with */apps/showfoto.png

2) I assume debian/digikam-data.install needs a line like

usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/

2) Independly we should either get rid of debian/xpm.d/ and co completely
or at least update the icons

   convert tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/digikam.png xpm.d/digikam-16.xpm
   convert tmp/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/digikam.png xpm.d/digikam.xpm

same for showfoto.

Can you fix it Harald? I'm not sure when I (ever) find the time to update my pkging skills ...

Achim

Indeed, it is actually blacklisted from packaging. Supposedly at some point in the past digikam in fact only installed the icons to oxygen, which was in conflict with oxygen-icons (as that too provides the icons). When that got fixed upstream the packaging was not properly updated.

Probably worth a SRU.

---------------
digikam (4:3.0.0~beta3-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Add build-deps : libhupnp-dev, libqtgstreamer-dev, libmagickcore-dev
  * Merge from debian, remaining changes:
    - Make sure libqt4-opengl-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev only
      install on i386,amd64 and powerpc
    - Depend on libtiff-dev instead of libtiff4-dev
    - Drop digikam breaks/replaces kipi-plugins-common since we're past the
      LTS release now
    - digikam to recommend mplayerthumbs | ffmpegthumbs. We currently only
      have latter in the archives, even though former is also supposed to
      be part of kdemultimedia. (LP: #890059)
    - kipi-plugins to recommend www-browser rather than konqueror directly
      since 2.8 no direct usage of konqueror is present in the flickr
      plugin anymore (LP: #1011211)
    - Keep kubuntu_mysqld_executable_name.diff
    - Don't install libkipi translations
    - Keep deps on libcv-dev, libcvaux-dev
    - Keep split packaging of libraries
    - Replace icons from KDE 3 time in debian/xpm.d/*.xpm with the new
      versions (LP: #658047)
  * Update debian/not-installed
