Description David Chmelik 2023-02-09 01:52:54 UTC
SUMMARY
I don't use preset user folders such as Downloads and set that one to my home user directory/folder (for example /home/user).  When I open another tab, the tabs call home directory Downloads instead of normal path or name.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Downloads to home user directory/folder, in this example /home/user.
2. Open another /home/user directory tab.

OBSERVED RESULT
Calls /home/user Downloads.

EXPECTED RESULT
Call the /home/user its path or main name (home).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
UNIX/GNU/Linux: Slackware64 15+current
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

IIUC you have set the XDG dir download to ~, but now ~ is called "Downloads" in dolphin UI.

Simple workaround that should work: delete the "Downloads" folder from the dolphin places panel.
Does it work for you ?

I saw no way to delete it, but was able to edit it though now tabs don't call it what I edited to (home) just the path, which is fine.

Hidding it then might be enough.

Or edit file "~/.local/share/user-places.xbel" and remove the downloads bookmark section.

It was hidden in the first place.  I don't know if it's safe to edit that file, but I guess I could make a backup and delete all the locations.

I don't reproduce the issue in KDE Neon.

Do you have xdg-user-dir installed ?
Did you use system-settings to change the Download folder path ?

I wonder if it is because of your distro.
