Running debian+swaywm and I’m trying to find a file manager that I like.

What I’ve have tested so far is using another icon theme.

Edit:

Following this thread fixed it for me. I didn’t notice any immediate change, but after reboot, the correct icons appeared. I think this mainly had do to with me not having the xdg-user-dirs-gtk package.

      Not really. They are probably just missing the required entries in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs. For example mine:

      XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

      The file is made by the tool xdg-user-dirs-update in my case, normally ran by a desktop environment but obviously won’t be automatically ran in SwayWM.

        I found a solution. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’ve edited my post with the solution.
