Bug ID: 508461
Summary: Favicon URL field fails to fetch favicon from domain
Classification: Applications
Product: kmymoney
Version First 5.2.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: ux-ui
Assignee: kmymoney-devel@kde.org
Reporter: ultrag...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Steps to Reproduce
Open the account editor in KMyMoney.
Paste a valid domain URL into the Favicon URL field.
Observe whether the favicon loads.
Alternatively:
4. Paste a direct link to an image (e.g. .png or .svg) into the same field.
5. Observe the result.
Expected Behavior
When a domain URL is provided, the application should fetch the favicon from
that domain.
When a direct image URL is provided, it should use that image as-is for the
account icon.
Actual Behavior
For many domains, nothing is fetched and no icon appears.
When pasting direct links to hosted image files, the application does not use
the image but instead attempts to fetch the favicon of the image host's domain.
This leads to incorrect icons (or none at all) with no warning or error shown
to the user.
Suggestions
Make the field strictly interpret the input as a direct image URL when
applicable.
If a domain is given, attempt favicon resolution but inform the user if it
fails.
Provide fallback options or previews for better user control.
