*** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY When a shortcut on the desktop gets a new icon or the icon is updated, the shortcut disappears completely. It won't be interactable until plasmashell is restarted. For example, changing the icon of a shortcut will make it disappear. Also the Trash icon on the desktop also disappears when its icon got updated, like when emptying the trash. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a shortcut on the desktop or use the trash 2. Change the icon of the shortcut or empty the trash 3. The desktop icon is now gone and wont come back until plasmashell is restarted OBSERVED RESULT Desktop icons disappear EXPECTED RESULT Desktop icons should not disappear SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux x86_64 6.8.7-arch1-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I confirm the bug, it happens with updating any link to file, folder or application.
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/icons-on-the-main-desktop-disappear-when-editing/160180/3 The same story, and it was in 6.03 and 6.04
For me this happens on any edit of the shortcut not only icon change. The safe method of editing for now is to do it from dolphin (open desktop folder).

Thought I was going nuts when my trash icon disappeared after emptying... Confirmed here on two machines. One fresh install of Plasma 6 and another upgraded from 5

(In reply to timofej from comment #12) > Created attachment 169490 [details] > video Interesting that your trash icon disappears when you fill it. For me it's the other way. My trash icon disappears when I empty the trash.
Update: Bug still occurs in KDE Plasma version 6.0.5

Git commit 0626185982687551523a6fe5cea4a1425e05a294 by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 04/06/2024 at 09:40. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. kfileitem.cpp: If fileMode is not unknown, set InitCalled to true in readUDSEntry When modifying file properties, desktop view does not get the m_bInitCalled as true and it thinks the desktop icon does not exist anymore. This makes sure fileItem stays initialised when calling readUdsEntry if the fileItem is not Unknown.
