Dolphin not showing custom directory icons for mounted SMB shares.

[DrTwox]

Hi all.

I'm using Kubuntu 13.04 beta 2 with all updates, trying to set the directory icons for some mounted SMB shares in Dolphin, but the icon I am choosing is not showing.

Here's an example:

In this picture, the dev and downloads directories are local, and setting a custom icon works. The music directory is a mounted SMB share, but the custom icon isn't shown. The share has read/write permissions, and the .directory file is being created.

$ ls -l music/.directory 
-rw------- 1 drtwox drtwox 34 Apr 21  2013 music/.directory
$ cat music/.directory 
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=folder-music

The .directory files created by Dolphin in dev and downloads also have permissions set to 600.

Any ideas about why the custom icon for SMB shares will not show in Dolphin? What further information would be required from me to solve this problem?

Try chaning the permissions on the .directory file to 644. In the few folders I have with custom icons, that's how all the permissions are set on the .directory files.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't fix the problem. I've updated the original post to mention file permissions.
