Bug ID: 390676
Summary: unpredictable desktop settings
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.12.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: view-engine: icons mode
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I assume that Dolphin handles desktop icons (or they use the same engine/lib),
please point me in the right direction if I'm wrong.
Setting 3 screens to "show desktop icons".
Expected result:
show the same icons on every screen (like in 17.10)
Current result:
it shows desktop icons only on one (random?) screen
Bad workaround:
set to show files from ~/Desktop (it show them but doesn't resolve .desktop
files so it's showing names with .desktop) also it works only on (random?)
second screen

As show in video, I opened desktop setting for every screen and tried various
combinations, and the result is crazy.
For example if desktop icons is set to every screen only probably first/primary
screen gets icons, if i switch primary to something else the second screen gets
icons. It might be the "desired" by developer but at least not by me.
But i think it's a bug as other settings also work "unpredictable" as for
example i set it to show place - select home directory, and it only show it
sometimes depending on other screen settings.
If the desktop behavior was "expected" please fix/revert it back to the way it
was, if someone want to have different icons on every screen then he could set
them to different directories or add third option to "show only on primary".
