The problem appears to be that we skip out of change notifications when there is no table. On new installations or new users there is no table initially and as such we skip all changes. Once you have changed a given field the table exists and the next time around it will update correctly. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/flatpak-kcm/-/blob/master/permissionstore.cpp?ref_type=heads#L64 We should probably load tables we get notified about. Except the current code doesn't seem to be built around loading tables after construction :\ A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/flatpak-kcm/-/merge_requests/158 Git commit a96aeaf28dd4f78b8256386c17c9ae308eb29c3a by Harald Sitter. Committed on 16/09/2025 at 09:14. Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. permissionstore: load unknown tables when there are no permissions present, such as on a new user, the initial table load won't do anything leading to us not tracking any tables and by extension ignoring all permission changes. instead load the table on-demand when that happens. as a side effect we now need to issue permissionChanged on table load so the model updates correctly M +4 -0 permissionstore.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/flatpak-kcm/-/commit/a96aeaf28dd4f78b8256386c17c9ae308eb29c3a |
