Nemo Sidebar icons don't load correctly, especially with non-standard, but properly configured alternative directories used.

Distribution

Mint 22.0

Package version

6.2.8+wilma

Frequency

Always

Bug description

Icons in the sidebar do not show up as they should, and end up being default folder icons. Specifically this is happening when directory like Documents, Videos, Downloads, Pictures, etc, are moved to another storage from the standard usual home directory. In my case, /mnt/storage/psi-jack/

, and I have xdg's user-dirs.dirs setup for XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR, and equivalent directories also setup with "/mnt/storage/psi-jack/".

The funny thing is, this starts working, consistently, on any time the second load of Nemo happens. So If I load Nemo for the first time, default icons show up, open a new one, proper icons show up fine.

Steps to reproduce

Move/Symlink Documents, Music, Picture, Public, Videos, and/or Downloads to another path.
Set folder icon to folder- appropriate.
Remove/Replace Sidebar item with new directory entry.
Close Nemo, and re-open.

Expected behavior

Icons show up in sidebar representing their defined icons.

Additional information

This is first launch.

This is second launch.

Reproduce on Mint 22.0 with Nemo 6.2.8+wilma using XDG user directories outside the home directory, comparing the first and second launches. Trace sidebar initialization and folder-icon resolution; no source file or test is named in the report. Done means configured sidebar icons appear correctly on the first launch, with regression coverage for reopening Nemo.
