Bugzilla Automation <bugzi...@freebsd.org> has asked freebsd-kde (group) <k...@freebsd.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 286699: x11-fm/dolphin: does not work correctly if home directory is a symlink (regression from kde5) https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286699
--- Description --- Scenario: - FreeBSD stable/14 - latest ports - $HOME is /users/martin - /users/martin is a symlink to the actual home directory Result: - If, in dolphin's settings, the default location is set to "/users/martin", an error message pops up: "The location for the home folder is invalid or does not exist, it will not be applied." - Entering the real home dir is o.k., but this is different from $HOME. Expected result: - Just as with kde5, having a symlink as $HOME should be working. Note: - There is another issue in that dolphin does not show thumbnails anymore (and yes I know how to turn them on and off, and configure the file types for which they should be shown). I suspect that the underlying cause might also be this misbehavior when $HOME is a symlink. - There was also bug 285244. -- Martin
