Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

3.3.16 on Gentoo Linux (AMD64).

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version:

libtorrent-rasterbar 1.1.5
Qt 5.9.2

What is the problem:

I noticed that my /var/log/journal/ directory accumulated 2GB of log files in only about a month. I took a look, and 80% of those 2GB consists of this:

plasmashell[364]: file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/core/private/DefaultToolTip.qml:70:13: QML Heading: Cannot open: file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/core/private/:/icons/skin/download.png

I have qbittorrent always running on this machine. The message stop if I quit qbittorrent.

What is the expected behavior:

No message log spam.

Steps to reproduce:

Run qbittorrent.

Extra info(if any):

This is another effect of referencing icon resources in the tooltip, even more significant than missing images. This issue thus duplicates #2934.

For anyone who has this issue:

As a workaround, you can disable qBittorrent's tray icon.
This appears to fix the log flooding problem as described above.

That's not an option, since then it appears on the task manager and in alt+tab.

The workaround was meant as a solution for people who don't mind that. Disabling the tray icon does solve the log flooding problem.

Edit: Of course the underlying issue should still be solved. ;-)
