Description Henning 2023-02-27 15:44:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
I had broken qBittorrent Flatpak overrides and they didnt change with "reset"

Also I tried to assign "/var/user/Downloads" to it, but in the config stood "/var//Downloads" which gave an error I suppose.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change some flatpak settings in KDE
2. Reset them in GUI
3. Check the overrides via CLI

OBSERVED RESULT
The reset doesnt work.

EXPECTED RESULT
The correct command to reset them for the user is 

flatpak override --reset --user app.name

The Reset button in the Settings page is for undoing any un-applied settings. If I'm understanding you correctly, I think what you should've pressed is the Defaults button (to set each option back to what it was originally).

Can you try the Defaults button and see if that gives the behaviour you expected? If so then I think it would be a good idea to change the Reset button to say something like "Undo Changes", to be a little more clear about its function.

"Reset" button correctly resets the settings view to its "freshly loaded" state, which is equivalent to closing system settings and opening again (or switching to a different KCM back and forth). And "Defaults" button correctly deletes any user overrides.

If you don't like text on those standard buttons, that is a wishlist/suggestion with a scope far outside of this particular Flatpak KCM, and you are free to propose alternatives in a separate bugreport.

I dont really think it needs any replacement. I just confused it, my fault.
