Having now installed the 05/25 daily of Cosmic (18.10) in my test partition, I can confirm that the bug is still present.
$ uname -a lsb_release -dsc echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Linux scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish (development branch) cosmic $ Lubuntu $ apt-cache policy pcmanfm-qt pcmanfm-qt: Installed: 0.12.0-6 Candidate: 0.12.0-6 Version table: *** 0.12.0-6 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status (see screenshot) ------------------------------------- Having said that, I read (from bug #1772214 ) that: " Alf Gaida (agaida) wrote on 2018-05-20: #4 Anyways - one can consider all libfm-qt and pcmanfm-qt bugs for versions < 0.13 not relevant for cosmic - libfm-qt and pcmanfm-qt got heavy modifications for 0.13 so most of the 0.12.0 bugs are not relevant for cosmic (massive parts of libfm-qt are rewritten in c++ and don't use the old libfm stuff anymore). The interesting thing will be to catch bugs in the new version and iron them out until 18.10 " So, naturally, I will want to test this once libfm-qt and pcmanfm-qt change to 0.13.x ... 1. Do we have an idea when this might happen? 2. Will it magically appear in Software Updater when it happens (I assume developers don't need to always download a new daily, "burn" it to media, and install it, whenever there is a change in an original package...)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768961 Title: xdg user-dirs not being read/stored correctly for desktop icon in left panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt/+bug/1768961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
