    Plasma 6 odd-ball icon behavior

    I use Puddletag fairly often and since the upgrade to Plasma 6 the icon is not honored or is missing.

    What seems odd to me - and maybe I do not understand how this works - the Icon in the menu and in Kmenuedit is the original Puddletag icon (blue puddle) but when I launch Puddletag, the icon in the Task Manager is a weird yellow W - like maybe Wordpress or something. Even more odd, when I launch Puddletag, the task manager icon is the blue puddle with a spinning animation (like it's loading) but then it changes to the yellow W when loaded. Both icons are visible until it's done loading, then the blue puddle icon disappears leaving only the yellow W.

    Here the two icons showing together:

    So if that's odd enough, but I cannot find the blue puddle icon anywhere. A couple icons sets I have installed have a Puddletag icon but it looks like a price tag with an E in it. I have no idea where the yellow W is coming from. I'm currently using "Breeze-Blur-Glassy" icons.

    I finally found the puddle icon at /use/share/pixmaps/puddletag.png but I'm trying to figure out the best way to set it in use...

    The weird yellow W is the "Wayland" icon...

      OK, turns out this is fairly common but there is a way to fix it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sungl8gWU_8&t=129s

      Worked like a charm! The guy in the video talks kinda fast so I had to backup/replay/pause several times but I got it.


      EDIT:
      Well, it appears the issue is many of the programs show up in the their description as "Application settings for python3". So when I changed puddletag it also changed Openshot to the puddletag icon.

      I'm not sure if changing the "Application settings for python3" to "Application settings for puddletag" will work or not...

        Yeah - no good. Back to the drawing board

          OK, so by adding the "Window Title" to the special properties and using the program name I now have Puddletag with the correct Task Manager icon and Window icon. Strangely, with Openshot I have the correct Task Manager icon but still shows the Wayland icon in the window
