<email address hidden> applet configure custom icon

[Alan Knepper]

OS: Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04 LTS x86_64

Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-31-generic

The main menu applet, <email address hidden> will not allow me to pick a PNG image for custom icon.

If I search my icon folder, ~/.icons/Icons for a png, it shows none to choose from.
If I drop a JPG image in there, it sees it and allows me to use it.

I dual boot with Linux Mint 21.3 and do not have this issue.

One thing I did notice is that if I export my menu, with the JPG image to a .json file, then edit the file and make that setting a PNG file, then import that .json file then the menu shows the PNG file as my selected custom icon. So the applet works as far as display, it just won't select PNG. Not sure about other image types svg or gif.

Attachment shows trying to pick a PNG icon. This is with the current configuration set for that PNG image, however it doesn't show the image.
