SUMMARY The filesystem view disappears every restart of KDevelop STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable file system view on the left toolbar 2. Close and Re-Open KDevelop (with last session) OBSERVED RESULT File system view is gone and has to be re-enabled. KDevelop only start with the "Documents" view. EXPECTED RESULT File system view should remain visible SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230318 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.4-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770R CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Pro Graphics 5200 Manufacturer: GIGABYTE Product Name: M4HM87P-00 System Version: 1.x ADDITIONAL INFORMATION .config/kdeveloprc is acting "weird": When I manually add the filesystem view, it get's updated: [MainWindow_code] (1) Tool Views Order=org.kdevelop.DocumentsView,org.kdevelop.FileManagerView When I close an re-open KDevelop, this line is still active, but the Filesystem view is not shown. If I close KDevelop now, it will be changed to [MainWindow_code] (1) Tool Views Order=org.kdevelop.DocumentsView The sections [User Interface][Main Window 0][Area code] [User Interface][Main Window 0][Area debug] [User Interface][Main Window 0][Area review] all contain "org.kdevelop.FileManagerView:1" and retain that line and value throughout all restarts. Removing kdeveloprc and starting fresh does not solve the issue. Note: This is kind of the opposite of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385916 which never went anywhere.
Martin, can you still reproduce the bug? I cannot. I am going to remove one of the peculiarities of the File Manager plugin (asynchronous initialization) to fix Bug 385916. Another unique feature of the File System tool view is that multiple such tool views can be added, though this allowMultiple feature no longer works as intended. I plan to either fix or remove the feature later.
I'm currently not using KDevelop, so I can't really say, sorry.
Closing as not reproducible. If the bug is still present, hopefully https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/merge_requests/715 fixes it.
