Problem Description

Dear All,

on my Gentoo Linux I found a strange behavior.
The Gentoo kernels are named the following way: gentoo-6.12.41-gentoo.efi
During the boot process, the kernel efi files are detected on volume "EFI\Linux".
The loader entries are automatically added as "Linux - Gentoo", so I assume the correct type of Linux is detected already.
I activated the hidden_icons_ignore feature.

However, when trying to apply icon to the found Linux efi kernels, the icon hinting/detection always fails.

If I enable the decline_help_icon feature, RefindPlus tries to create icon hint from the loader path: "EFI\Linux\gentoo-6.12.41-gentoo.efi". But the hint string will be "", and the os_unknown icon will be loaded.

If I deactivate the decline_help_icon feature, the hint string will be "uefi,linux", and the os_uefi icon will be used.

Since the loader entry is shown as "Linux - Gentoo", my expectation is that the theme's os_gentoo icon should be used.
