Bug ID: 394650
Summary: Directories of Windows (NTFS) partitions themselves
and the symlinks to them became hidden in Dolphin with
KDE frameworks 5.45
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.04.1
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kennethso...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 112849

Annotated picture showing NTFS partitions, but not others, are hidden under
/run/media/<username>
Software versions:
Distro and version: Manjaro KDE 17.1.10
Qt version: 5.10.1
KDE Plasma version: 5.12.5
KDE Frameworks version: 5.46.0
Dolphin version: 18.04.1
Reproducible: Always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a NTFS partition (e.g. a Windows OS partition)
2. Let KDE mount the partition by clicking the partition under "Devices" in the
left pane of Dolphin
3. Go to the directory where the NTFS partition is mounted in Dolphin (in my
distro it's /run/media/<username>/
4. Enable showing Hidden Files (Default keyboard shortcut: Alt+.)
For the symlink:
5. In any location, create a symlink to the directory of the NTFS partition
(i.e. to /run/media/<username>/<partition name>)
Actual Results:
Directories of NTFS partitions are hidden. But directories of other types of
partitions (e.g. FAT32) are not hidden.
The symlinks to directories of NTFS partitions are also hidden.
Expected Results
All directories of partitions under /run/media/<username>/ should not be hidden
except the directory name begins with a dot
Actually the issue happens after updating to KDE frameworks 5.45, but I don't
have time to report until now. This issue is not a big deal, but it is really
inconsistent, and it also slightly broke my workflow (as I was relying on using
the created symlink).
I suspect this is related to the new feature of hiding hidden files on Windows
partitions in KDE frameworks 5.45 (see
https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/03/31/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-12/
and bug #171537)
With further testing, this affects all NTFS partitions mounted under
/run/media/<username>/ (mounted either by KDE auto-mounting or fstab). However,
NTFS partitions manually mounted using the 'mount' command under elsewhere
aren't affected. For more information, please refer to the original Manjaro
