The preview cache is not updated after changing the wallpaper (simple picture jpg and png) on the Activity switcher. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Having several activities with different wallpapers (jpg or png) 2) Open activity switcher - see activities with wallpapers thumbnails 3) Change wallpaper on 1 or all activities 4) Do nothing or restart PC (doesn't matter) 5) Open activity switcher - see activities with old wallpapers thumbnails Actual Results: Those wallpapers thumbnails are not updated. Expected Results: Those wallpapers thumbnails should be updated using the currents wallpapers. I deleted the following file ~/.cache/activityswitcher_wallpaper_preview.kcache and restarted to refresh the cache I've seen the following bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360034 It give the process: Open konsole, and write the following kquitapp5 plasmashell rm ~/.cache/activityswitcher_wallpaper_preview.kcache plasmashell &>/dev/null&
This should be fixed in the latest Plasma 5.8.x.
