Hi,

I'm currently writing a Plugin for Kate(the editor) using KDevelop(3) as my IDE.
The Plugin puts an icon into the toolbar.
If I were using qmake, I would just put this icon into the imagecollection, but since I'm using autotools/KDevelop, I need to do it another way.

So, what's the easiest way to install an icon into the kde data directory and load it after make install'ing the plugin?

Sorry for the question, but I couldn't find it out myself with the kdelibs documentation.

Thanks in advance,
Michael.

Hi,

thanks, but before loading them I have to find a way for installing the icon in a KDE data directory.
Any hints for how to do that?

Hi,

I succeeded in copying the icon to the plugin data directory now, but I can't load it using
KGlobal::iconLoader()->loadIcon("designer_appicon.png", KIcon::NoGroup).

Hi,

KGlobal::iconLoader()->addAppDir("kate");
KGlobal::iconLoader()->loadIcon("designer_appicon", KIcon::NoGroup)

doesn't work neither
