custom flag icon not recognized [kstars] was created by pauledd

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.

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.

I didn't test it, but I made the change, thanks! Please test tomorrow and let me know if that fixed it.

It works but for example flagSmall_red_cross.gif is now listed as "flagSmall red cross" instead of "Small red cross"
