Screenshot showing a square image of a folder that should be a vertical
rectangle (a DVD cover)
DESCRIPTION
Custom folder icons defined in .directory are rendered with the wrong
aspect ratio in Dolphin on Kubuntu 26.04.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a directory, for example:
mkdir -p ~/TestDolphin
2. Put a non-square image named Folder.jpg in that directory.
3. Create ~/TestDolphin/.directory with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=./Folder.jpg
4. Open the parent directory in Dolphin.
5. Use Icons view and enable folder previews/icons.
OBSERVED RESULT
The custom folder image is displayed as a completely square image, or
is distorted to a square.
EXPECTED RESULT
The image should be displayed with its original aspect ratio, as it was
in Kubuntu 24.04.
Regression:
The same .directory file and Folder.jpg were displayed correctly in
Kubuntu 24.04. The problem occurs after upgrading to Kubuntu 26.04.
