Bug ID: 378949
Summary: read only config files should be treated as immutable
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: alpeter...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
This may be more general than just plasma...
Plasma should not be editing it's own configuration files unless explicitly
allowed to do so...
so this means that plasma should check the permissions and ability to change
the file( such as checking disk space if the file is writable) to make sure
that it can actually write the file... and not allow users to change settings
that are not allowed to be edited.
This is a straightforward and clear thing... but someone went thru the trouble
of making a dialog box popup saying that the configfile wasn't writable...
so it might be an opportunity to refine the design.
(I'm still rooting for KDE, windows10 has deleted enough of my work on it's own
update schedule and disrespect, that I can understand that free software can
have errors too)
I made the plasmashellrc readonly in attempt to stop plasma from seemingly
randomly changing my panel widths... it reset it on some vertical height
changes... that's another severe bug...
