Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I I move folder view (desktop) in the dashboard and resize it at the next restart it is plced in another position and different size, I expect it has to remember size and position.
- Does this also happen with a FolderView which is not in the dashboard ? Regards
I don't know, where can I place a folder view other than dashboard??
Well... you have the normal Desktop (minimize all the windows), and the Dashboard (showed when you press Ctrl+F12... They may show the same widgets or a different set of them, depending on settings. But some functionalities may differ a bit if you use the normal desktop or the dashboard to set a widget properties.

The dashboard (ctrlF12) and the normal desktop shows the same things, until now I used the normal desktop to set properties of folder view.

- Did you restart using the normal options ("Restart" from the menu) ? - Could you try restarting plasma: (in Konsole run "kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 8 && plasma-desktop") ? Regards
I had the same problem as you (see bug 226269), but somehow this problem disappeared for me, and I really can't tell for which reason. The only thing I did was to update the Factory packages of KDE SC 4.4 on a regular basis. If thats the reason or not, I don't know -- but if there are any packages in Factory you could update (I use: sudo zypper lu, to see if there are any updateable packages) you could try that and see if this problem disappears. I also added another folder view to an activity to see if the problems eventually reappears for me on new folder views -- it will take a while for me to be able to report anything about that, as I can't logout now.
-Yes I used the normal options. -yes it happens restarting plasma too.(kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 8 &&) plasma-desktop another problem happens, I don't know if it is related on this, if I add a file with "create new file" all the icons are reordered alfabetically, in the settings I put "not ordered" ciao
I tested with further folder views... and could not see that behaviour anymore -- folder views do remember its sizes and positions correctly for me now.
I made a new folder view in another desktop/activity, the behaviour is the same for both, doesn't remember size.
It seems solved in kde 4.4.2. I deleted /home/user/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc, rebooted, and now size and position are remembered. :-) thanks, Pier
OK closing then :) Thanks Pier
It's still happening for me on 4.9.x. Everytime I change position and size of my folder view widget, on the next restart it's placed on the top-left with default size. I tried removing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc to no avail. How can I solve it without getting rid of my .kde folder?
Which exact 4.9 version? Did you try moving all plasma* configuration files?
Hey, Myriam. It's 4.9.2, atm. I removed every plasma* configuration files as you suggested and this issue disappeared. The files I backed up, other than plasma-desktop-appletsrc were: plasma-desktoprc plasma-windowed-appletsrc plasma_applet_fadingcalendarrc plasma_applet_plasmoconrc plasmarc I browsed the ~/.kde/share/config directory just to see what happened and I noticed that just plasma-desktop-appletsrc and plasma-desktoprc were recreated. When I overwrote them with my backupped files (just those 2), this issue popped in again. The funny thing is that i can manually recreate my old environment (same theme, plasmoids, background, etc.) WITHOUT restoring my old plasma-desktop-appletsrc to reintroduce that bug. I think something is going on with my plasmoids, may you kindly have a quick look at my cfg?

The problem was in the old configuration: [Containments][1][Applets][2] geometry=20,20,600,400 immutability=1 plugin=folderview zvalue=0 [Containments][1][Applets][2][Configuration] Share=false alignToGrid=false blankLabel=true clickForFolderPreviews=true customIconSize=32 customLabel= drawShadows=true filter=0 filterFiles=* flow=0 geometry=20,23,600,400 iconsLocked=false immutability=2 mimeFilter= numTextLines=2 plugin=folderview showPreviews=true sortColumn=6 url=desktop:/ zvalue=0 Anyway, since the old configuration was removed this is solved now. Thank you for your feedback.
I can happily confirm this has been fixed! Thank you so much for your efforts. :)
