mapp...@gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mapp...@gmail.com --- Comment #7 from mapp...@gmail.com --- This issue still is present in Dolphin 16.08 (Debian Stretch), by default the .directory files are created everywhere, littering the filesystem. There are many complaints elsewhere on the internet that repeat the suggested "common view properties for all folders" workaround: - https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=223&t=119876 - https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/454850-Prevent-Dolphin-From-Dropping-Files-Everywhere - https://superuser.com/questions/569549/is-it-possible-to-prevent-creation-of-directory-files Such a workaround does prevent the littering but only with a loss of functionality, so, it's not a good solution. Also I did notice the existence of ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/local/**. It seems like there is a nested directory tree in here with some subset of the .directory files, used when Dolphin cannot write to the target directory. If Dolphin had an option to use this directory regardless of permission, that would resolve the issue for me, -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
