Recovery standard icons from the installation DVD?

[Mahler]

Hi,
I played with opensuse 13.1 KDE and I have done some damage...
in particular, there's no way to get back the default icons, both Crystal and Oxygen are missing icons and some icons are still present from a theme (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...content=165154) deleted. I've also removed font cache, but nothing change.
It's possible to extract the standard icons from the installation DVD?
I would try to fix those in /usr/share/icons/ with the one from DVD.
Regards

The font cache?
You should remove the icon cache, preferably when KDE is not running.
/var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache

Installing an icon theme as _user_ should not break/change any files from the system icon theme.

But you can of course re-install it, the package is called "oxygen-icon-theme", there's also "oxygen-icon-theme-large" and "oxygen-icon-theme-scalable". I don't know which of those you have installed, but enter YaST->Software Management, right-click on those packages (the installed ones) and choose "Update Unconditionally".

Thanks, I've delete icon-cache.kcache in var/tmp and in home.

I've reinstalled via Yast Oxygen with "Update Unconditionally".

The majority of the icons is back in its place, but not the folders icons, those are always from the theme deleted.

Hm, that sounds familiar.
I think that's related to the folder preview feature, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Does it help if you disable folder previews as a test? (deselect the "Preview" button in the toolbar)
Maybe try to remove ~/.cache/thumbnails/ as well.

PS: the icon for a folder is stored in a file ".desktop" in the corresponding folder.
So check whether such a file exists in a folder that has a wrong icon and try to remove it.

Sorry, I do not have this path ~/.cache/thumbnails/

Ok, works!! But the thumbnails path is ~/.thumbnails/ !!
Now works!! I've delete cache stored in ~/.thumbnails/ and ".desktop" files !! And works!!

But you should have a .cache folder in your home directory, which should include a thumbnails folder.
As this starts with a '.' it is hidden though, you have to enable "Show hidden files/folders" in dolphin to see it.

And have you tried to disable the preview?

Ah yes. Sorry.
KDE4 still uses ~/.thumbnails/, but I have ~/.cache/thumbnails/ as well on my system, that confused me.
I think GNOME3 and KDE5 use the latter one.
