Description Dotan Cohen 2009-10-31 22:51:17 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It seems that Dolphin stores its config files' options with the full path hardcoded, not with $HOME instead of /home/user. For instance, this was found in dolphinrc:

[General]
HomeUrl=file:///home/dotancohen

[Open-with settings]
CompletionMode=5
History=kate,k3b,inkscape,kword,soffice,/home/dotancohen/.bin/howToSay,/home/dotancohen/.bin/play_sound,okular,kolourpaint,gimp,vlc,gmplayer %F,vlc %f,smplayer,smplayer %f


This make for problems when moving settings from one system to another. I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, but it should always be $HOME.

Thanks.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

In Dolphin 17.04.2, no hardcoded path is used anymore (as far as I can tell after looking in dolphinrc  and a quick search through the source code)

Right, this has probably been fixed in kconfig.
