Research direction

Reproduce the issue with fastfetch --config ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc --show-errors and the supplied logo.source value. Start by tracing how the CLI resolves the configured image path and compare config-file and command-line handling. Done means the custom image resolves and displays through kitty-icat instead of falling back to the default logo.

Description

I want to use a custom image instead of a logo, but when I set the image (both through editing the config file and through commands) it just shows the default logo (so the Linux Mint logo for me)

When i run fastfetch --config ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc --show-errors it gives me a message saying "Failed to resolve logo source"
I am running this on the kitty terminal
