Package: guvcview
Version: 2.0.8-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
the file /usr/share/applications/guvcview.desktop hardcodes the path to the
icon file:
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/guvcview/guvcview.png
This means that themes like papirus-icon-theme cannot override the displayed
icon for guvcview.
Please stop hardcoding the path to the icon.
A naive change to:
Icon=guvcview
makes it work if the user has papirus-icon-theme or other icon themes
installed. However, it breaks the icon if there is no icon theme installed,
because the vendor icon file is in /usr/share/pixmaps/guvcview/guvcview.png
instead of /usr/share/pixmaps/guvcview.png
A workaround is to create a symlink:
# ln -s /usr/share/pixmaps/guvcview/guvcview.png /usr/share/pixmaps/guvcview.png
