the icon sorting setting
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages

Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder

Screencapture of the desired behavior with Dolphin and the current behavior
using the Desktop applet
SUMMARY
When creating a new file, by right clicking on the desktop, the new file does
not adhere to the sorting setting. Furthermore, creating a new file by right
clicking on the desktop resets the sorting setting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on the desktop and click on "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper".
Click on "Icons" on the left sidebar and change the sorting to "type".
2. Create a new file on the desktop by right clicking on the desktop.
3. Open the "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper" window and notice how the sorting
setting is set to manual under the "Icons" tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
The newly created file does not respect the sorting setting and actually resets
the sorting setting.
EXPECTED RESULT
The newly created file should be sorted according to the user specified
setting.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.10.39-1-1-lts
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Note: creating a new file using Dolphin, respects the sorting setting. It's
only when you right click on the desktop to create a new file where the sorting
setting is discarded. Also, I'm familiar with C++ and I'm looking to get
involved with KDE so I'd love to actually fix this issue myself if someone
could point me to the right resources and source files!
