Description Radovan Skolnik 2019-03-11 07:47:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
It would be nice to either a) have a command line switch to clear QML cache or b) alter behaviour of -r switch so that it clears the cache. Usually upon upgrade of latte-dock it becomes unusable (unable to start) without manually deleting the QML cache.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade latte-dock to latest version
2. Use: latte-dock -r

OBSERVED RESULT
Some part of the application is rendered but is unusable - no applets...

EXPECTED RESULT
Should start fine.

very good idea!
Comment 2 Michail Vourlakos 2019-03-11 07:50:22 UTC 
is there any reason the "-r" is proposed instead of something else?

I would like more, -cc -> Clear Cache

No specific reason at all. Just when I upgrade the package I usually try "latte-dock -r" to replace the running instance with upgraded one. That's where I find out if it works or not. If it doesn't I have to clear the cache. So it would be convenient to do this in one go.

However additional switch is perfectly OK with me. Would just do "latte-dock -r -cc". No problem there.
