Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/146

Describe the bug
Possibly due to flatpak'd versions of Spotify and Discord (and otherwise icon-missing applications), apps that don't properly have an icon do not get verified, and an error is printed.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use launcher or focused with show_icon
Have an app that either doesn't have an icon or otherwise isn't in the correct location
Launch ironbar, observe errors upon loading icons for the app.

Expected behavior
Either a warning and/or discarding or sanitizing of related items

System information:

Distro: Arch
Compositor: Hyprland
Ironbar version: Ironbar version 0.12.1 via ironbar --version on aur/ironbar-git

Configuration

Will improve the error handling around this to try and rule out some of the non-errors, reduce missing images to warnings, and avoid printing the full stack.

When focusing an app for which it cannot find an icon (though Anyrun does find the icon), ironbar does indeed just print a warning, however it still renders the icon for the last focused app.

For example, if I move focus from Firefox to Supersonic (AUR package supersonic-desktop), ironbar fails to find Supersonic's icon and instead renders Firefox's icon.

Thanks for reporting. I've opened an issue to track that and should get it sorted soon.
