For the first question’s answer, that doesn’t work if the directory’s file system supports extended file attributes, as Dolphin will prioritize those above the .directory file.

The cruelest part is not formatting it correctly :c

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0) {
        // Child process
        while (1);
    } else {
        // Parent process
        sleep(2);
        kill(pid, SIGKILL);  // Force kill child
        printf("Child process killed.\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

If I had a penny for every time I found out through the fediverse that my current anime pirate streaming website of choice shuts down, I’d have two pennies.

Which is not a lot, but GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

I wouldn’t actually have bet on it being a regional thing, holy shit I’m clairvoyant

… that is if “Italian-American” counts as a regional thing, but I’ll allow it. Just this once.

I’ve never heard “melanzana” being used as a slur for black people, are you confusing it with “fennel” being a slur for gay men or is that a regional thing?

A quick search tells me you need to open the directory’s properties dialog and click on the icon on the top left; if you want to set directory icons programmatically maybe you can do that, then try and see what Nemo does in order to change it?

Otherwise I’m afraid you’ll need to seek some documentation for Nemo or GNOME Files (since the former is a fork of the latter), or at worst, Nemo’s code itself.

French people saying “water”:

Not sure how it works on other file managers (or any DE), but for Dolphin you can create a .directory file with its content like:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=/absolute/path/to/image.png

I think it’s more or less universal.

Specifically for Dolphin, there may be a way to achieve the same with extended file attributes (getfattr/setfattr) instead of directories, but I don’t know the attr name for icons if it even exists.

Fortunately the USA wouldn’t act against foreign entities on the whim of a few companies

While I agree², their use of “steal” makes sense in the analogy because the apple doesn’t belong to the “thief”; besides, you can’t pirate an apple

Grievous and permanent injury, even

I did random bullshit written on the Internet for DAYS to get my browser to use a decent file chooser, it’s harder than it has any right to be

Just in case you have this problem with other software: it’s probably an XDG desktop portal issue, I haven’t used Sway specifically for a while but it took me a lot of trial and error to wrangle my portals into submission without using Plasma.
