Description Iyán M. V. 2021-05-15 18:04:19 UTC

SUMMARY

I have several partitions hidden in the Devices part of Places in Dolphin. However, the ones that I want to keep always visible change every time I restart the computer. The amount of visible visible items remains constant, but the items are not the right ones.

I cannot find where these hidden devices are stored (I checked dolphinrc without luck). Maybe if someone helps gives me a hint here, I can further help to debug this issue.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Places -> Devices in Dolphin
2. Hide a few partitions or devices
3. Restart computer

OBSERVED RESULT

Sometimes, wrong partitions are visible.


EXPECTED RESULT

Hidden partitions remain always hidden, visible ones always visible.

Thanks, I removed the file and it worked.

Comment 6 Iyán M. V. 2022-10-26 16:45:29 UTC

This is still an issue running latest versions of frameworks and plasma.

Comment 7 freggel.doe 2023-06-09 20:39:35 UTC

I'm seeing similar (mis)behaviour on

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9

I'm using LUKS on LVM and at the moment dolphin shows me 19 devices out of which I want to see only 3.
Sometimes one of the devices changed and sometimes one additional devices get's added. Over the last several days/reboots without my interfering this has resulted in dolphin now showing 7 devices where only 2 of those were in my originally shown group of 3.

Comment 8 freggel.doe 2024-03-16 12:50:06 UTC

This seems to be somehow fixed in kf6 because I'm not seeing this anymore: 20+ reboots over the last 10 days at least and the list of hidden/displayed devices remains constant as I've selected them (setup remains the same as in my last post above).

Nice! Iyán, can you confirm that?

Comment 10 Iyán M. V. 2024-03-19 14:33:38 UTC

Yes, I can confirm. I have also not observed this anymore. Closing ;)
