I got icon data into a Python list. How could I get this icon data into pixbuf? I could not find it in this source.
Here is the code I get icon data:
from gi.repository import Gio
apps = Gio.AppInfo.get_all()
icon = apps[0].get_icon()
print(icon)
Python 3, GTK3, OS: Debian-like Linux.
I could not find how to get Gio.AppInfo icons into pixbuf, but I solved my problem in another way.
I have found Desktop application files in the /usr/share/applications/ location. I could get specific application icon by reading .desktop file of it. Fİnally I could get the icon into pixbuf by using new_from_file() command.
The code that works in my machine is:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from gi.repository import Gio
apps = Gio.AppInfo.get_all()
icon = apps[0].get_icon().to_string()
print (icon)
The following also works:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from gi.repository import Gio
apps = Gio.AppInfo.get_all()
icon = apps[0].get_icon()
print (Gio.ThemedIcon.get_names(icon))
