What happened?

Any icons that are not immediately accessible via the "choose an icon" dialogue (for example, .png files located in the documents folder) are not applied properly to quicklinks, despite working elsewhere. instead, the "image-missing" icon is shown on any created links, and are rendered with the "exec" icon on the desktop. Clicking "update" does nothing.

These custom icons do seem to work properly in the "edit entry" dialogue, but dont render at all elsewhere.

Just tested with external .svg icons as well, and they also don't seem to be working.

Icons chosen from known good sources (as in directories where webapps or other programs store their custom icons) also dont seem to work.
