Bug ID: 431837
Summary: Wallpaper removal deletes wallpapers from source
location
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click on desktop and select "Configure Desktop" (or whatever
translated equivalent)
2. Select "+ Add Image..."
3. Locate your favourite desktop wallpaper, which has followed you from
computer to computer for 15 years, but for some stupid reason isn't backed up
anywhere.
4. Press the trashcan icon to remove the wallpaper again from the list.
OBSERVED RESULT
The wallpaper is permanently deleted from the source location; not even moved
to the trash.
EXPECTED RESULT
The action of "+ Add Image..." should have been reversed, removing the
wallpaper from the list but leaving the source file intact.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Testing (Bullseye/Sid)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The action of "Remove Wallpaper" is counter-intuitive and conflicts with the
action of "Add Image":
* "Add Image" takes an image from a source location and incorporates it
into the list of registered wallpapers.
* "Remove Image" deletes an image from the source location where the image
was found.
These two actions should be exact opposites: If adding an image registers an
image from a source location, then removing the image should unregister that
same image. It is beyond the mandate of the wallpaper manager to be a file
manager also.
