SUMMARY In mageia8, the sidebar in konqueror has been restored. However the option to populate the sidebar, has no functionality. Bookmarks cannot be added to the sidebar by any method that I have been able to find. Whilst I find Konqueror the best file manager that I;ve ever come across, the loss of the sidebar, has kept me from updating my OS (Mageia Linux) from version 5, the last version with the sidebar, up until the present with Mageia8. Aside from the lack of functionality, there is also a problem with permanancy. In 'Settings' ticking a box should make the sidebar open by default, but when Konquror is closed down, and later re-opened, the sidebar is not restored, and the tick box in settings is once again empty.I've not used the other options within the sidebar, so have no idea whether they have problems STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konqueror 2. open the sidebar 3. establish a bookmark, for a particular URL 4 the bookmark is added to the list, but no entry is made in the sidebar, set for bookmarks OBSERVED RESULT No entry of the saved bookmark in the sidebar EXPECTED RESULT As in the original sidebar (Mageia 5) the bookmark should be listed in a vertical column within the sidebar SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Mageia 8 Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
