Timeline-Urls can not be set as homepage. When doing that in settings an error message appears claiming that this url is invalid and will not be used. Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the bug report. The check that we perform for the new 'home URL' in StartupSettingsPage::applySettings() is if (url.isValid() && fileItem.isDir()) It seems that the 'timeline' KFileItem is not considered a directory. Maybe this could be fixed by adding an exception for 'timeline' URLs. Looks like a good 'junior job' for potential new contributors.
