MySQL Bugs: #76897: Missing icons on Home Screen

Bug #76897	Missing icons on Home Screen
Submitted:	30 Apr 2015 6:59	Modified:	7 May 2015 4:18
Reporter:	Philip Olson	Email Updates:
Status:	Not a Bug	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	6.3.3	OS:	MacOS
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The Workbench home screen is missing icons for most of the shortcuts. See the attached screenshot. 

The links still work, they are just missing the icons.

How to repeat:
1. Install 6.3.3 on OS X
2. Open Workbench
3. Look at the home screen

Note: Deleting the current MySQLWorkbench.app and Workbench user directory (~/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/) before installing a new version of Workbench did not solve the problem.

Note: I had old 6.3 builds on my system before installing 6.3.3, although I'm not sure how that'd affect this issue as I (I think) deleted all old files.

Suggested fix:
I don't know how the code works so this may not be a proper solution, but I was able to fix the problem by referencing existing file names for <value type="string" key="largeIcon"/> in predefined_starters.xml instead of the missing *@2x.png variants.

Maybe use actual image names in the XML. So, for example, reference wb_starter_mysql_forums_68.png instead  instead of wb_starter_mysql_forums_52@2x.png in predefined_starters.xml?

I could not see this issue on OS X 10.9.x Mavericks with MySQL Workbench Community (GPL) for Mac OS X version 6.3.3  revision 0 build 592 (32 bit), earlier this box had 6.3.2 which I uninstalled just before 6.3.3 installation.

Hello Philip,

Thank you for the report.
We tried to reproduce on 2 different boxes but not seeing the issue.
Could you please clean up existing WB installation and re-install again to confirm this issue?

Thanks,
Umesh

Hello Umesh, thank you for testing this bug. I can no longer replicate it nor can I explain how it was  fixed on my system. While I think the icon paths will be fixed (a related but minor issue, some are missing @2x versions) I think this bug can be closed or marked as not a bug.

Thank you Philip for confirming.
I'll mark this issue as "Not a Bug" for now but feel free to reopen if needed.

Regards,
Umesh
