--- Comment #3 from Derek <[email protected]> --- FIXED: I use an external drive for my Downloads folder, swapping it between machines. Booting without it breaks the symlink, so KDE silently sets Home as the Downloads folder via the default Locations settings and applies the Downloads-folder defaults (Sort by Modified, Grouping on, Folders first off) to the Home folder and these settings are forced, there is no changing them that persists. I feel there should be some kind of warning or prompt asking for new locations so users are aware. So just be careful: if you symlink special folders to external drives, a failed mount can silently reset the path. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
