Description Martin Riethmayer 2023-03-21 07:25:40 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

.config/kdeveloprc is acting "weird": When I manually add the filesystem view, it get's updated:
[MainWindow_code]
(1) Tool Views Order=org.kdevelop.DocumentsView,org.kdevelop.FileManagerView

When I close an re-open KDevelop, this line is still active, but the Filesystem view is not shown. If I close KDevelop now, it will be changed to 

[MainWindow_code]
(1) Tool Views Order=org.kdevelop.DocumentsView

The sections
[User Interface][Main Window 0][Area code]
[User Interface][Main Window 0][Area debug]
[User Interface][Main Window 0][Area review]

all contain "org.kdevelop.FileManagerView:1" and retain that line and value throughout all restarts.

Removing kdeveloprc and starting fresh does not solve the issue.

Note: This is kind of the opposite of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385916 which never went anywhere.

Martin, can you still reproduce the bug? I cannot.

I am going to remove one of the peculiarities of the File Manager plugin (asynchronous initialization) to fix Bug 385916.

Another unique feature of the File System tool view is that multiple such tool views can be added, though this allowMultiple feature no longer works as intended. I plan to either fix or remove the feature later.

Comment 2 Martin Riethmayer 2025-01-21 07:04:37 UTC

I'm currently not using KDevelop, so I can't really say, sorry.

Comment 3 Igor Kushnir 2025-01-24 20:04:38 UTC

Closing as not reproducible. If the bug is still present, hopefully https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/merge_requests/715 fixes it.
