Description himanshu.speed 2019-02-24 09:37:15 UTC 
SUMMARY:
I had to do a fresh install of manjaro and both stable & git version of latte wasn’t showing any dock upon launching. I did one more fresh install with formatting home partition to double check this and had the same issue. Deleting latte configs from ~/.config didn’t make any affect (offcourse I did several kill latte and relaunch).
In the end, I tried using --default-layout option and that did the trick. After that, relaunching latte kept on working without this option too.
So, I’m guessing that latte is somehow not picking default layout on first launch.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Fresh install manjaro 18.0.3
2. Install latte dock stable or git version
3. Launch latte

OBSERVED RESULT:
No dock shows up.

EXPECTED RESULT:
Dock with default layout

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: Manjaro 18.0.3
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.15.1
KDE Frameworks Version: KDE framework 5.55.0
Qt Version:

I am really going to cry.... :(

this bug exists I dont know for how long and you are the first one that reported it... This means that plenty of users that tried Latte couldnt do so because of this... :(

the fix is really simple, but either way I am sad now...

create latte dir if missing when loading presets

--this is critical because it does not open Latte at
first run. The fix is just to make sure that "latte"
directory will be created in case there isnt already
