Description John Tanner 2018-05-01 18:14:29 UTC 
Forgive me if I've filed this in the wrong location.

In the latest kubuntu using Plasma 5.12.14, the main Application Launcher menu throws an error when certain shortcuts are clicked upon.

For example, to reproduce:

- Click on K menu (application launcher), then Computer, then navigate to Places.

- The link to timeline:/yesterday results in an error "The file or folder timeline:/yesterday does not exist." This is the same for all of the other timeline links with the exception of timeline:/today which works as expected. 

- The link to search:/documents results in an error "Could not find any application or handler for search:/documents" This is the same for all of the other search links. 

I've spoken with a few other people and they are able to reproduce this bug in kubuntu and in Neon. 

Thanks, 
John

Confirmed.

Looks like these URLs no longer work even in Dolphin's URL bar. Something must have broken in their KIOSlaves.

search:/ isn't a real thing, the KFilePlacesModel rewrites that to baloosearch or filenamesearch depending on whether Baloo is to be used or not. I think this needs a better solution than adjusting every user of that URL (I fixed most in KIO but as you can tell there's more..)

I just tried bisecting Baloo about the timeline:/ one but it looks the change is elsehwere. Perhaps some of the KUriFilter or KUrlNavigator changes that happened recently?
