Description Robert Charbonneau 2015-04-30 02:23:29 UTC

A new place cannot be saved in dolphin.  If you drag a folder onto the places panel, while Dolphin is running it will remain.  When dolphin is closed the Places appear as defaults every time.  Places elsewhere in KDE are correctly saving their configured places (Kate, Plasma Desktop, Krita, etc.)

System specifics are: Kubuntu 15.04 w/ Plasma 5.3 updates form the backports PPA on amd64.

See this bug on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1422469

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open dolphin.
2. Drag a folder onto the 'Places' panel.
3. Close dolphin.
4. Re-open dolphin.

Actual Results:  
Dolphin will not honour the 'Place' you tried to create.

Expected Results:  
Dolphin should honour the 'Place' that you had created.

There is no crash occurring, but here is dolphin output on the console for a session using the steps to reproduce:

Comment 1 Robert Charbonneau 2015-04-30 02:44:59 UTC

It should be noted that the version of Krita I used to test saving places in applications other than Dolphin makes use of the same KDE library version as Dolphin and works properly.

Comment 2 Valorie Zimmerman 2015-04-30 02:59:55 UTC

I can confirm this. Even when I specifically opened the dialog to "save places" it was not saved when I reopened Dolphin. 

I'm also on Kubuntu 15.04 with backports enabled, so running the latest releases.

Comment 3 stef 2015-04-30 06:26:25 UTC

Same with recent arch linux packages.
