Inotify message - Icon missing

Seafile Client
1

Hello there,
Unfortunately, I am seeing a “missing icon” icon for all the notification messages as shown below:

Selection_114

Whenever I see this, it makes me nervous as it looks like things are “going wrong” even though they aren’t. Is there a way to fix the missing icon, or at least disable it?

OS

I am running Xubuntu 20.04

Client Version

I installed the seafile client first through just running:

sudo apt install -y seafile-gui

… which got me client 7.x when I first noticed this issue, and then by following the online instructions of adding the keyring etc to get client 8.0.1

I’m replying to this very old message as this is still the first result in Google about this issue.

This problem happens because the notifications use “Seafile” for the icon name, but an icon named like this is not supplied.

A quick workaround is to get the icon (any of the icons provided in the client’s installation package) and copying them as ~/.icons/Seafile.png

Note that you may have to create the .icons directory under your home directory.
