Description Alex 2024-12-03 22:50:54 UTC

SUMMARY
Folders that were added to Kickoff Favorites and then deleted on disk cannot be removed from Favorites.

I think there was a bug about this, but I cannot find it and can still reproduce with Plasma 6.2. Feel free to mark it as duplicate (and reopen the other if needed) if you find it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a folder to kickoff's Favorites
2. Delete the folder on the disk
3. Try to remove/unpin the item from Favorites

OBSERVED RESULT
You cannot remove it from the menu. All activities, "all activites" and "current activity" are unchecked and you cannot enable them either, so you are unable to remove the item from the Favorites.

EXPECTED RESULT
One should be able to remove deleted items.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12

This is working for me with git master, so it must have already been fixed in Plasma 6.3.0.

How did you exactly remove it? Does it have checkmarks for the activities in the git version?

I'm currently keeping the entry in the menu (it doesn't take that much space) to test when the bug will be fixed. So how did you remove it, so I can test when 6.3 packages are there.
