Bug 316745

There are two locations where the Places entries can be viewed in Dolphin: 1) the Places panel which appears when pressing F9 and 2) a toolbar button with a folder icon that appears to the immediate left of the editable location bar when Places is toggled off. This secondary access point does not replicate the main Places panel and does not hide items that are explicitly hidden in the main Places panel.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the main Places panel, hide a hard drrive partition.
2. Press F9 to toggle off the Places panel.
3. If necessary, enable the editable location bar.
4. Verify a folder icon button appears to the immediate left of the location bar.
5. With the mouse pointer select the folder icon button.
Actual Results:  
The hidden hard drive partition is not hidden.

Expected Results:  
User expections are that the two panels should mimic one another exactly. This does not happen. The small folder button can be used to imitate the bookmarks feature in Konqueror but remains cluttered with items that should be hidden.

After pressing F9 to open Places, I noticed the Places panel populated with all of my hard drive partitions. All had unhelpful generic labels such as 60 GiB Hard Drive, 200 GiB Hard Drive, etc. To me, the idea of using bookmarks in Konqueror and Konsole and Places in other apps is to avoid unhelpful generic labels. As my Places list already has some of those hard drive partitions with friendlier labels, I proceeded to hide the unhelpful generic labels.

Thereafter those items no longer appeared in the Places panel, regardless of which app was using Places.

The secondary Places menu in Dolphin --- the button with a folder icon that appears to the immediate left to the editable location bar when Places is toggled off does not replicate the same list. This list is not populated exactly the same as the Places panel. Despite being hidden in the normal Places panel, all of the hard drive mount points still appear in that drop-down list. I have not found a way to disable them.

Seem that this smaller secondary Places button is not honoring the hidden elements in the Places xml file.

Further, attempting to "right-click" on any of the items that should be hidden but are not, as any user might be expected to do to hide the items, results in Dolphin opening that file system.

I have not noticed this problem in any other app but I don't know of any other app that uses a secondary Places menu.

This is not related to the Show All Entries menu option. That option works correctly in the main Places panel. This bug is related to the small folder button that appears to the immediate left of the editable location bar when Places is toggled off.

This is not a duplicate of bug report 275103 which focuses only on the main Places panel.
