--- Comment #3 from Eike Hein <h...@kde.org> --- Sorry, I need some more information just to make absolutely sure. There's two ways to change the folder that Folder View shows when used as the desktop contaiment: 1) System Settings -> Applications -> Desktop path 2) "Configure Desktop" -> Location I think you used '2', right? Just to make sure (because the way directory updates happen differs between them). And then you copy a file to the folder you configured, and it doesn't show up. The most frequent reason this happens is: The system is using inotify to monitor folders for changes, but something else on the system is using inotify a lot, and hitting the system limit of too many inotify watches. You could find some debug hints here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13758877/how-do-i-find-out-what-inotify-watches-have-been-registered -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
