Comment 2 Luke Horwell 2025-03-23 16:27:34 UTC
Can confirm. It looks like it lists items in chronological order, but each file/folder type causes a new group to start. Grouping by relative time ("Today", "Yesterday") would make more sense to me. Or, I'd be happier with no grouping at all, assuming it's sorting in chronological order, newest at top.

It's similiar for the "Frequently Used" list too - perhaps "Most frequent", "Occasionally" could be groups. Or likewise, grouping doesn't seem a necessity for that list either.

Can also reproduce. One is full of folders that should be in the Folders section.

A work around is clicking (and opening the file in dolphin) once on folders that are «among» files.
The «home» folder won't be intertwined among files.

Technically this happens because the «Home» entry wasn't marked as having the inode/directory mimetype in plasma-activities database.
This should fix itself when opening those folders in dolphin.
I haven't identified where those entries are added only partially (without their mime-type), this shouldn't be too hard.
