It shows me options for exploring free disk space in Filelight or KDiskFree.  Do you not have either of those installed?  Maybe there should be some way to disable the button, or have it show those two programs as optional installations.

Do you not have Filelight installed?

It was a live test in virtual environment.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-02-22 17:26:40 UTC
...And was Filelight installed in that environment?

Its default live system. It doen't seem to be installed. Only preinstalled apps.

Ok, so the issue is that it doesn't work as expected when the menu it would show is empty (i.e. when Filelight isn't installed).

We already have an open merge request fixing this for over two month now: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/674 Unfortunately there was no progress on it in a while for reasons unknown to me.

The problem isn't about the new button visuals by the way, but because for the mega release a specific piece of software (KMoreTools) for recommending to install Filelight has been retired: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/2cd3d58eec5695899c26ca66a631fb79867b6584
