Bug ID: 436439 Summary: plasma-workspace 93f9ef030 broke my autostart scripts -- repeating the conversion Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Other OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: 1i5t5.dun...@cox.net CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk, plasma-b...@kde.org Depends on: 436437 Target Milestone: 1.0 ... and what's worse, reverting to before it didn't fix them again as the conversion had already broken them. Thus, despite my finding that commit in the log relatively quickly and believing it to be the culprit, because reverting to before it didn't fix things, it took me hours to figure out what had happened. There's actually two bugs. This is the second one (the first is bug #436437) Apparently the converter does another conversion of the now *.desktop files each time I restart kde/plasma, so after a few restarts I end up with... whatever.desktop whatever.desktop.desktop whatever.desktop.desktop.desktop whatever.desktop.desktop.desktop.desktop ... foo.desktop foo.desktop.desktop foo.desktop.desktop.desktop foo.desktop.desktop.desktop.desktop ... bar.desktop bar.desktop.desktop bar.desktop.desktop.desktop bar.desktop.desktop.desktop.desktop ... Furthermore, the files are duplicated in both the autostart and the autostart-scripts dirs (plus the old-autostart-scripts dir but it only has a single copy of each file, with a single .desktop extension). I had apparently restarted 10 times trying to trace down the first of the two bugs, with 9 original autostart scripts as by the time I caught it I marked and deleted 90 files in each of the two subdirs to get rid of the dupes (I was using mc so it gave me a count of the files to delete in the delete-confirmation). After I fix the damage from the first bug I guess I'll try setting the dirs readonly and see if that prevents the dupe-creation.
