Thank you Nate, this would be great, if it worked. Before reporting the problem to the distro maintainers I tried "fixing" the problem by myself. I edited my user's ~/.profile by adding this to the bottom: > # Added by me (Cris) on 2025-04-16 to try to fix the problem of uneditable > applications (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497714) > #export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$HOME/.local/share > export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS You can see I did two tries, just to be on the safe side (I didn't know if ordering would affect things). Unfortunately none of the two tries solved the problem. When logging in I can see that XDG_DATA_DIRS is correct now, but modifications to the applications are still ignored. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
