Those are the uses in Debian: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Icon%5C%5B%5B%5B%3Aalpha%3A%5D%5D%2B%5C%5D%3D Most of those are translations that don't need to exist: https://sources.debian.org/src/knewstuff/5.54.0-2/data/kmoretools-desktopfiles/org.gnome.clocks.desktop/?hl=263#L225 https://sources.debian.org/src/calamares/3.2.4-4/calamares.desktop/?hl=177#L177 Actual bugs where a translator translated the icon name (in fact, most of razorqt's entries are broken): https://sources.debian.org/src/razorqt/0.5.2-4/razorqt-config/src/translations/razor-config_gl.desktop/?hl=19#L19 https://sources.debian.org/src/razorqt/0.5.2-4/razorqt-config/src/translations/razor-config_ru.desktop/?hl=19#L19 https://sources.debian.org/src/qt5ct/0.37-1/src/qt5ct/desktop-translations/qt5ct_cs.desktop.in/?hl=37#L37 Spec that will need updating: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Icon%5C%5B%5B%5B%3Aalpha%3A%5D%5D%2B%5C%5D%3D+package%3A%5CQkde4libs%5CE So it's fair to say that nobody uses it correctly, and then barely anyone uses it. At this point, I think the onus would be on you to show that it's useful, if you wanted to keep it despite the problems it causes translators. Let's remove it. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
