plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file keeps configurations for removed/deleted activities. I noticed that because I was looking into rc file to solve other issues. I had previously used several activities, but then I removed them. Looking at rc file, I spotted several places where the configuration items (namely, wallpapers) were referring to gone activities. I don't know if this can cause problems to plasmashell operations, however it seems not a quite right behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new activity 2. change its wallpaper 3. remove the activity 4. Check plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file
I cannot reproduce this on current master, adding an unused wallpaper such as Cluster to an Activity makes it show up in plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and removing an Activity removes any reference to Cluster. Is this still reproducible for you, Fabio?
Will try in a short time and report back. Thanks
Yes, i just tried. I followed the steps and indeed in plasma-org.kde.plasma-appletsrc the wallpaper is still referenced, with the ID of the activity that I just deleted: [Containments][73] activityId=35610be5-8a7c-42f0-8904-08ff97b6e786 formfactor=0 immutability=1 lastScreen=0 location=0 plugin=org.kde.plasma.folder wallpaperplugin=org.kde.image [Containments][73][ConfigDialog] DialogHeight=540 DialogWidth=720 [Containments][73][Wallpaper][org.kde.image][General] Image=file:///usr/share/wallpapers/OneStandsOut/contents/images/1920x1200.jpg SlidePaths=/usr/share/wallpapers [Containments][74] activityId=35610be5-8a7c-42f0-8904-08ff97b6e786 formfactor=0 immutability=1 lastScreen=1 location=0 plugin=org.kde.plasma.folder wallpaperplugin=org.kde.image
Could you please mention what system you're currently using?
(In reply to Thiago Sueto from comment #4) > Could you please mention what system you're currently using? here you go: Operating System: Gentoo Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.9.1-cova OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz Memory: 62.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Quadro M1000M/PCIe/SSE2
Also cannot reproduce. Deleting an activity in the KCM causes plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc to be immediately updated and the data for that activity are removed. Do you have anything special that is manually modifying or backing up your plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file, perhaps?
