Bug ID: 431691
Summary: Configurations wiped off upon theme change
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nanabaahg...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Selecting 'Use desktop layout from theme' from Global theme change wipes other
configuration files including those of some widgets installed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Global Theme to change theme
2. Select Use desktop layout from theme
OBSERVED RESULT
Other desktop configurations settings are lost. For instance, in my case, after
the theme change, my Sticky Notes widget had gone together with the notes I had
on it. Notes were not restored after adding the widget back.
EXPECTED RESULT
I think the warning note that appears on top on the checkbox when selected is
not severe enough and should be properly worded. It's not only 'desktop layout'
that is changed. Users should be prompted that certain configuration files
could be lost as well, as the action, more or less, resets the desktop.
