Because dolphin is mostly tested/used in plasma with default settings, this hasn't been noticed. KDE code spans decades, that we inherit as-is by from previous maintainers, that had limited resources as do we always. Code evolves organically often without overarching design, this is especially true for old components such as trash:/. > A file manager should be entirely independant of a user's desktop settings. You are correct dolphin shouldn't depend on this, not primarly for design but for not-plasma users of dolphin. Fixing this might be a fix for this bug. But please answer to my questions so I actually _know_ that's the issue. That would be more valuable to fix the bug than having to explain the past. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
