Description Fernando M. Muniz 2024-05-30 09:36:31 UTC 
The following shortcuts on the top-left of Dolphin don't update the username section of their addresses if the user changed their username (and /home/newusername/ ).

Maybe when it's a shortcut, add an "Edit path" button after the "Current location changed, '/home/oldusername' is no longer accessible." to make updating their path a bit intuitive.

The concept art idea is under the assumption there's no way of redirecting from the old username since it no longer exists.
But if there's still a connection between the old username and the new, then ignore that idea.

Hi! I wonder why does this bug blocks bug #497248? Thanks! :)

It doesn't, I thought that cloning bugs were some kind of short ut for bugs of the same area.

Maybe the implementation of the feature from Bug 498973 would also fix this?
