Public bug reported:
In Kubuntu 20.04 LTS, there is a visual inconsistency present with the
default set of folders in the user's home directory. Note in the
screenshot (or in a fresh installation) how most of the folders in the
home directory have folder icons with a symbols representing the use for
that folder. The 'Public' and 'Templates' folders however, for whatever
reason, do not.
== Why does this matter? ==
Given that this release will be an LTS, it will be used by thousands of people
for at least 5 years. I believe that fixing small details like this issue will
help to increase the overall polish and professionalism of the distribution
that will last for those years to come. Other distributions, such as Ubuntu
itself, Mint, Fedora, and operating systems like macOS and Windows have
symbolic icons on all of their default folders as well, so fixing this paper
cut would help bring Kubuntu at parity.
== How trivial is this bug? How easy is this to fix? ==
Admittedly, pretty trivial. I've been resolving this issue in the past by right
clicking both folders in Dolphin, selecting 'Properties', clicking the icon,
and searching "folder- " in the search box. Then the 'folder-public' and
'folder-templates' icons can be selected.
As such, I assume that this paper cut is also super easy to patch before
the final freeze. I don't know what specific package(s) deals with
adjusting the icons on the user folders though, so if there are any
developers that can provide guidance or make a quick patch I would be
very appreciative!
