Description Nick Stefanov 2019-04-03 21:39:38 UTC

SUMMARY
After every upgrade the icons on my desktop have large grid width. I can easy return them to normal from /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/FolderView.qml, setting "var minIconWidth = Math.max(iconWidth, units.iconSizes.small * 8);" from 8 to 5 but it brokes again after every Plasma update. Here how it looks:

2. Restart
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Large icon grid width.

Normal grid.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS 
Arch Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2

Thank you Nate but I don't complain about the default value of 8. It's great but it doesn't work for me and after every upgrade I have to reduce it to 5 for some reason. Obviously somewhere I have a setting in some file that interfere with it. If I delete the .config and the .local folders this behavior disappears so the culprit is in these two folders but in which file exactly I don't know. Any directions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please don't change the status; this is a duplicate of Bug 403412.

The file you're changing is the code itself, not some user-configurable setting. That's why it gets reset with every upgrade. This is unavoidable until Bug 403094 is fixed (which will hopefully be soon; see the patch mentioned there).

Yes I know why it gets reset with every upgrade but that's bother me why deleting the .config and .local folders resolves the problem. That's why I think there is a bugged file in my settings.
