Flatpak: Icons missing

[plafue]

I'm using Pop_OS, which per default installs syncthing-gtk from flathub.

The icon in the notification area looks like this:

And the icon in the title bar looks like this:

Starting the application from the command line with the --debug flag displays the following output:

Sorry but I'm not managing nor supporting flatpack repository.

@kozec Hi! I came across this issue when I installed Syncthing on my new Steam Deck (running Arch Linux). I'm having an issue getting the status icons to work.

https://github.com/flathub/me.kozec.syncthingtk/issues/13

As the Valve Steam Deck hit's the market, there will be an influx of new users trying out Linux and Arch for the first time. To improve the experience, the icons should be addressed. It can be driven downstream in a patch, but we wanted to see if you would be willing to take another look at this here.

@TingPing proposed this as a fix:

They just need to have the prefix me.kozec.syncthingtk, so me.kozec.syncthingtk.black-0.png would work for example.

I see the following files referencing the icons. Without starting a deep dive into code I don't understand, are these the main file that would need to be touched?

• https://github.com/kozec/syncthing-gtk/blob/master/generate-icons.sh
• https://github.com/kozec/syncthing-gtk/blob/master/syncthing_gtk/statusicon.py
• https://github.com/kozec/syncthing-gtk/blob/master/syncthing_gtk/app.py

Would you be willing to support a pull request here with a patch?

Thanks!! :)

As [brettwilcox] mentioned, there will be a huge volume of new users to the app that could found the missing icon a bit weird, when this app is great and very professional.

@kozec Hey, i find it very sad that you will not support flatpak, many distros use it as default and it is a great way for app distribution. However i respect your decision about that but can you please answer the Questions brettwilcox asked above?

That would help a lot so someone can step up and fix this stuff.
