Description corktowner 2017-08-20 22:14:46 UTC
I have reported this bug before. I have added my own desktop images folder for the slideshow, initially my images are used then system default images start showing up and my select folders are not listed. This is irritating to say the least. kde hasn't been saving the folders I add for the slideshow since version 4 was released. The default images are awful. Please get this fixed. By the way, I hate Plasma 5, especially the breeze themes. That is why I am resisting upgrading to LinuxMint 18. I am seriously looking to drop kde altogether. I do not know what direction you all are headed, but it doesn't look like forward.

If you have reported the bug before, can you provide the URL?

Just a helpful suggestion: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Saying "I hate Plasma 5" and "I do not know what direction you all are headed, but it doesn't look like forward" in the context of asking people to do work for you doesn't generally fill them with great desire to do it. :) A little politeness goes a long way, especially on the internet where we can't tell if you're being sarcastic or your rhetorical style is jokingly hyperbolic.

What do you mean exactly when you say that the folders aren't saved? Like, after you close the window? After a reboot? At seemingly random intervals? Exact steps to reproduce would help us investigate your issue.

Setting to NEEDSINFO since we are waiting for steps to reproduce and a description of exactly when the issue happens/

I have been polite in the past. This has been reported, repeatedly. 
Nothing is being done so it is apparent you all do not care. I am done 
with politeness. I stated I was considering dropping kde and that is 
what I am going to do with your fine answer. Good riddance. It's no 
wonder kde is not a favorite anymore.

Oh no, snap, I have been burned. I have been polite in the past. This has been reported, repeatedly. Nothing is being done so it is apparent you all do not care. Why bothering asking for reports when nothing gets done? I am done with politeness. I stated I was considering dropping kde and that is what I am going to do with your fine answer. Good riddance. It's no wonder kde is not a favorite anymore. It is also a memory hog, but you all know that already. Trying to be a little too MS in the Linux realm.
