By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2010-10-01 17:36:49 CDT 
Akgregator always fetches favicons and unlike Konqueror, provides no "EnableFavicon=false" option.
Comment 1 Darrell 2011-12-21 21:45:18 CST 
This enhancement should not download any icons, not just don't display them. :)
Comment 2 Darrell 2012-12-08 17:09:36 CST 
There is a work-around. Use kwriteconfig or manually edit akregatorrc:

[HTML Settings]
EnableFavicon=false

Apparently any app that uses an [HTML Settings] section can control such options through the khtml engine.

Using this work-around, I confirmed that both favicons are not displayed in akregator but also not downloaded. That is, $TDEHOME/cache-`uname -n`/favicons does not exist when EnableFavicon=false.

Still needed to close this bug report is a GUI control. Not directly related to this bug report, I don't believe a GUI control exists for konqueror.

Bumping to Minor because there is a work-around.
Comment 3 Darrell 2012-12-08 20:51:18 CST 
The work-around does not survive a restart of the Trinity session. Quitting akregator, deleting the $TDEHOME/cache-`uname -n`/favicons directory, and restarting akregator in the same session results in no favicons. Logging out and back into Trinity causes all favicons to reappear in akregator, even when EnableFavicon=false in akregatorrc.

Adding a GUI check box should be straightforward, but additional code will be needed to honor that setting.

A preliminary patch is available in bug report 1360, attachment 1046 [details].

The new check box is in Settings->Appearance.

The control correctly updates the user's akregatorrc file.

The patch does not yet control fetching favicons. Although the akregatorrc file changes to EnableFavicons=false, the icons are still fetched and displayed.
