--- Comment #11 from Adam Fontenot <adam.m.fontenot+...@gmail.com> --- My issue was duped to this, but I reported something specific that hasn't been covered here, so if this issue is going to deal with both problems, I want to document it clearly in a comment.

So up until this point this bug deals with what happens if the user manually changes the paths. A workaround for the broken places is, after you change the paths, to update those changes using the `kcm_desktoppaths` KCM. My bug adds is the specific report that this *does not work*, at least under the Plasma 6 beta. In Bug 478191 I changed a path (the "Desktop") path to a new location, but changing the path in the `kcm_desktoppaths` KCM *does not* update the location used in Dolphin or elsewhere that "places" appear. In Dolphin, I see the error "The file or folder /home/<user>/Desktop" does not exist after changing the path shown in the KCM and restarting Dolphin. To my mind, this makes it a separate issue. Either way, a fix for this issue that keeps all the paths up to date automatically would likely fix my issue as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
