--- Comment #42 from Eduardo Correia <eduardosare...@gmail.com> --- As a Steam Deck user, more than one time already that I had to literally factory reset my WHOLE steam deck to be able to revert back some stupid things I changed inside KDE that I cannot find where they were or how to change them back or what was the feature even called. Steam Deck is an example of an immutable distro that can still hugely benefit from a "restore settings" button. On my main desktop, after a Plasma 5 to 6 upgrade, some settings got messed up and I had to manually delete the respective config files. This is not at all something that an average user should have to do, since the user can by mistake delete important config files from those folders. I would also say that "Restore default settings" is a better term than "Reset settings" in this context. A cool idea would be a "Support", "Troubleshooting" or similar settings page inside the settings app that could list, based on what was installed, "restore settings" buttons for each. For example, "restore default settings for Dolphin", "Restore default settings for Discover" and etc. All it could do would be maybe delete the config file for that app, because most of the KDE apps already restore their default settings automatically if you delete their config files. So this feature is already "somewhat implemented" to a point. A button that runs "rm" on the specific config file for each KDE apps would probably be enough. Maybe also backup the old settings to a .bk copy, so a button called "Revert" could appear after clicking the restore settings button, so the user can "revert the restore" if they restored settings for the wrong app. That Revert button could stay available as long as a .bk file for that specific app was still present. Another very related feature would be to have a button to completely uninstall or just disable all extensions, themes, kwin scripts and any extra stuff that the user might have installed. It would be an extremely important tool to diagnose misbehaving systems. Such feature could also be present in the same system settings "Troubleshooting" page, as mentioned above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
