Created attachment 331952 [details, diff] add svg by default to IUSE and warn if USE=-svg USE=-svg emerge app-text/qpdfview Results with a binary that has no icons for example for "next page" and "previous page" and so on. Those buttons are shown by default but the user needs to click on the buttons blindly. Attached patch does following for the ebuild: -add svg by default to IUSE -warn user about missing svg
Comment on attachment 331952 [details, diff] add svg by default to IUSE and warn if USE=-svg That is not an acceptable solution, I think. If the UI contains no icons with USE=-svg, then maybe the USE flag should be dropped entirely, instead.
Created attachment 332548 [details, diff] removes USE=-svg option Removes USE=-svg option. This way UI icons are always working.
This seems to be a duplicate / resurfacing of bug #413653. I will contact upstream and see what is the best fix for this. Either way, the svg useflag is enabled by default in the desktop profile, so I don't think we need to change enything there.
Can you paste your emerge --info please. (For the record, I can't reproduce with my current configuration.)
This is upstreams reply: What is described seems to be the intended behavior as documented in the README file: All fallback and application-specific icons are shipped as SVG only for reasons of simplicity. (After cleaning the XML code, the files are no larger than reasonably sized PNG files.) The USE flag resp. build-time option is there, because one can very well run the program without the supplied icons using those from an FDo-compliant icon theme instead. (Especially, the default tool bar buttons use FDo icons only.) So if one wishes to disable SVG, one needs an FDo-compliant icon theme. (Of course, tool bar buttons for application-specific actions will not be available this way and there will be no application/window icon.) (If the user's icon theme is not picked up because of the current limitations of Qt-only environments, explicitly setting "iconTheme" in the section "mainWindow" of the configuration file "~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf" might help.) P.S.: Another possible course of action that was taken by some packagers, is to rasterize the SVG files and install them into the "hicolor" icon theme which allows for disabling SVG support (and hence the binary resource file containing the SVG icons) without reduced functionality.
So... is this a bug or not? Should we just remove USE=svg and always enable svg support?
