--- Comment #41 from funkybom...@gmail.com --- Thanks for the submission @Andrii Arendariuk, this is a simple, elegant solution. Kudos! I took the liberty to run a couple more tests with your code in terminal, and realised how easy it is to actually use your code to create multiple backup files, in order to preserve icon positions per resolution (if that's what we want - and we should). For example, I used this command when I was in 1920x1080: cp -f ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ~/plasma1920x1080.bak Then I changed resolution to 800x600, and I rearranged some of the desktop icons to new places so that I would feel more comfortable while working in this resolution. Then I used this command (while still in 800x600) to preserve the icon positions for this state as well: cp -f ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ~/plasma800x600.bak Then I changed resolution back to 1920x1080 and run the command: konsole -e killall plasmashell && cp -f ~/plasma1920x1080.bak ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc && plasmashell & which sure enough restored all my icons in the appropriate places. Just for the heck of it, I also run the command: konsole -e killall plasmashell && cp -f ~/plasma800x600.bak ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc && plasmashell & which just placed the icons in the "800x600" pattern while I was still in the 1920x1080 resolution. But that was just me playing at this point. The only thing remaining is someone with programming experience to make the script run automatically when there is a resolution change. To function properly this script should get as parameters both the "old" and "new" resolution and then call "backup" for the "old" resolution and "restore" (if a relevant file for this resolution exists) for the "new" resolution. Obviously I'm biased because I desperately want to see a resolution to this issue, but let's discuss: What are the downsides to this solution exactly? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
