SUMMARY Some time ago I added several folders into below option: "System Settings -> Search -> File Search -> Do not search in these locations:". Today I opened above and found several duplicated entries in mentioned list. Worth mention that duplicated are only these which are mounted (via NFS) during system start only, other appear as single. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open "System Settings -> Search -> File Search" 2. Add couple directories which are mounted via NFS and couple local file system folders 3. Apply, close window and restart system 4. Open again this configuration OBSERVED RESULT Duplicated entries (mounted via NFS) in "Do not search in these locations:" list. EXPECTED RESULT Added locations mounted via NFS should appear as single entries SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: YES (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Probably this issue also happened in older version of KDE/Plasma. Long time ago I opened this option and added folders, so I'm not sure if issue appeared in Plasma version as above.
Fixed in the rewrite that will be included in Plasma 5.18.
