Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) OS: Linux Problem 1: Select Favorites and right clicking on any entry there does start the application instead of offering a menu e.g. containing an option to remove that entry from Favorites. Selecting the same entry via the normal menu hierarchy (e.g. System -> Terminal -> ...) with the right mouse button does offer a menu, and an option "Add to Favorites" if it's not already there as well as a "Remove from Favorites" if it's already there. Problem 2: If an application's menu entry was added to the Favorites and that applcation/packet gets removed, there's no way to remove that entry from the Favorites and, at least in my case (removal of virtualbox-ose, got replaced by new virtualbox 4.0) wasn't removed automatically by removing the appropriate desktop file. I'm not 100% sure about this last sentence, maybe the desktop file stayed (virtualbox.desktop), but the contents of this file changed (e.g. the Name entry). Reproducible: Didn't try
i can reproduce the bug. my box's specifications are, Qt: 4.7.1 KDE Development Platform: 4.6.40 (4.7 >= 20101222) os:gentoo ~amd64
*** Bug 276054 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
On KDE 4.7.4 when I right click on a favourite I get a menu with "Remove From Favorites", "Add to Desktop", "Add to Panel", "Uninstall".
Hmmm. Just tested it inide a VM running openSUSE 12.1 and KDE 4.7.2. When I right klick on the favourite item inside the favourites submenu, no matter if the plasma widgets are locked or not, I still can just start the item, not remove it. But when I search that item inside the normal menu, outside of the favourite submenu, I can remove it the way you describe it. But this is not intuitive. One should be able to open the favourite submenu, select the item one wants to remove, right click on it and find an entry allowing to remove it.
Moving to wishlist, as this is simply not implemented.
This bug is annoying.
Works in plasma 5.
