Bug ID: 498874
Summary: Delete Desktop Folder; /home folders that is "printed"
onto your screen is permanent
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: zkyra...@hotmail.com
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY:
Delete Desktop Folder. Reboot, Login. You will see all of the folders (not the
hidden folders), and it's icons projected onto the screen. All of the contents
within home folders are projecting on top the desktop screen. But I have no
desktop folder. I cannot delete those folders because it's permanent. I have no
way to remove it from my screen because desktop folder doesn't exist. I did
create desktop folder again. Reboot it. And it's still there. In Dolphin, all
of the folders that is printed onto the screen doesn't exist. It acts like it's
behaving normally. So there it is, I have folders icons with contents laying it
out on the wallpaper, I cannot remove it, and thereby ruining my beautiful
wallpapers. It's irreversible to delete those folders / files btw. Thank God
that you all build a "trash folder." I basically undo all of the actions.
Of course, all devs would say, "but why would you do that? Delete Desktop?" For
me, Why not? I want clean up my folders? I never use Desktop folder, right?
Templates, and all other useless folders that KDE produced. It's ruining my
/home folder. I want to dial it in. I want a prestige clean folder system.
Why did I posted in shell? Well it isn't tied to Dolphin, but I did used
Dolphin to delete Desktop folder. In fact, I could use konsole, "rm -r
Desktop/", and it would end up with same results. Right? So really, it's a
KDE/Plasma thing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Delete Desktop folder
2. Reboot
OBSERVED RESULT
You cannot remove folders from your screen because it's tied with actual
contents in the folder.
EXPECTED RESULT
Deleting those folders should; delete icons, and syslink to those folders (for
the sake of simplicity like windows), and it's gone. It has no effect of
destroying all of the contents. In reality, those folders became a literal
contents that is printed on-top the screen which, if somebody dares to delete
it, it can destroy their entire lifehood of data.
