Bug ID: 438492
Summary: Updating plasma to 5.22 deleted my Downloads folder,
and created a new, empty one in my language
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: vakondvil...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a primary language that's not english (in my case hungarian)
2. Update to 5.22
OBSERVED RESULT
The update not only changed the names of my home dir folders, but deleted my
Downloads folder completely. I am also not able to change them back to english,
becuase removing hungarian completely seems to have no effect on
xdg-user-dirs-update , and it just recreates the hungarian folders, even after
manually deleting the user-dirs.dirs and user-dirs.locale files in .config. I
even tried manually changing user-dirs.locale to en_US, but it just pops back
to hu_HU(even though I completely removed that from system settings). I was not
able to reproduce the bug with xdg-user-dirs-update, it seems to be directly
tied to the plasma update (I didn't try rolling back and updating again, so it
might not be reproducible).
EXPECTED RESULT
First, it shouldn't delete my files. That's extremely bad behavior. Second, I
should be able to set my home default folders back to english without any
issues.
