profile-icons with web sources are not shown on the taskbar #14384

@torgeros commented on GitHub (Jul 7, 2021):

I suppose theoretically, we could actually download the image locally and set the path for the jumplist entry to that file.

I someone is going to implement that, maybe also make copies of local images to an app-internal path. I found it somewhat annoying that I have to make sure that my custom local icons do not get deleted by accident.

Like for example when I download an image, set it as profile icon, and then clean up my downloads folder, the profile icon is gone.

Yeah -- we should cache local and remote paths, honestly. We need to be extra careful to not cache old copies of local icons that have changed, but that should present little issue.

Technically -- and unrelatedly, mind you -- we should also be caching them in memory. Reloading every image every time the settings changes is a right pain. 😄

Feel free to fork the repo and then open a pull request referencing this issue.

Soon, profile icons with web sources will not be shown at all. It's a trivial security risk.

Is that related to something with wsl --install, --import, or --export? Because it can't figure out the correct directory for shortcut.ico. Since version 2.4.x, I have to manually set the path for the profile icon of the distro that came from a WSL install.

Jesus Christ Windows Terminal....

I am sorry if this comment is already pointless, but the weird thing is:

I see the icon missing, so I go to the Ubuntu profile settings.
I see there is an icon "change" and an arrow to revert that change: ⮌.
I click the arrow, the URL immediately shows up in the appropriate text field and also it renders in the left sidebar and in the Icon row.
I click Save and the icon disappears again. 👀

So is this a deliberate behavior in fact and is it caused by sanitizing the configuration JSON file from security risks as stated by @DHowett above?
