Description Frederick Zhang 2020-02-13 11:50:02 UTC

SUMMARY
Autostart tries to re-create symbolic links even I just open the 'Run On' drop down list and select the current value, causing redundant 'File Already Exists' warning.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Autostart
2. Click Add Script
3. Choose a script, leaving 'Create as symlink' ticked
4. Click to open the 'Run On' drop down list for the added script
5. Select Startup, i.e. the default value

OBSERVED RESULT
A 'File Already Exists' warning pops up saying 'This action would override ... with itself'.

EXPECTED RESULT
No warnings.

The "create as symlink" option was removed in the Plasma 5.21 rewrite, so this bug no longer applies. :)
