Hi there, I was trying to use a custom gif for flaging but kstars doesn't recognize it.
I used gimp to create an 10x10 Pixels,indexed 1-colored b/w gif with transparency.
The file is in: "user/.local/share/kstars/flagSmall_white_star.gif"
Kstars shows only the default icon and no error message at start.
I attached the icon file.
--= human, without Windows™ =--
pls excuse my bad english!
I found a solution from this code line:
kstars/kstars/skycomponents/flagcomponent.cpp:210
if( item.name().startsWith( "_flag" )){
The flag filename has to start with an underscore followed by "flag" instead of kstars recommendation "names must begin with flag".
If I rename my "flagSmall_white_star.gif" to "_flagSmall_white_star.gif"
then kstars can see it.

pls excuse my bad english!
