There are 4 times mozo and nothing on the recent used directories. It even can't see where the file for extraction is located, It thinks it's in / but it's in /media/sdc1/Games/:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We don't have any control over what GTK apps do. We're KDE, we don't control GTK or apps written with it. I'm afraid yo'll have to report this to someone in GTK land.
Comment 2 mozo 2024-08-06 21:40:48 UTC 
But the same apps (and versions) are working fine in Plasma 5?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2024-08-06 21:42:01 UTC 
There's no possible way it's relevant. Plasma doesn't touch this.
Comment 4 mozo 2024-08-06 22:22:20 UTC 
Ok, but with Plasma 5 file-roller for example remembers it's settings. The same with Vinagre. Now the doesn't remember them. This two apps are just an example. There are more apps affected.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-08-06 22:28:53 UTC 
As I said, Plasma 5 doesn't have anything to do with GTK. I can't explain why you're seeing that issue, but it's not caused by Plasma.
Comment 6 mozo 2024-08-06 22:38:33 UTC 
Ok, let's hope it'll fix itself alone.
