I'm playing with MX Linux KDE plasma for the first time.   Never used it.  I come from Linux Mint 
Cinnamon (my sig is still set that way).

Having a ball learning at least, but in Mint I had a script that would use the gio command to modify 
a lot of folder icons making navigation somewhat nicer.  I like the bling.

Anyway, gio produces no errors when attempting to set the icon but doesn't.  When I use the gio 
command to retrieve the icon it shows none.   So I'm guessing in KDE / debian, the backend is not 
there do handle whatever Mint does.   I can edit the folders manually and change the icon but that's 
a lot of work.

This might be a bit beyond most users, but I'll give it a shot.   TIA.
