So all the links are broken and you need to manually fix them. Two potential solutions: 1. Have the KCM update the items in the Places model 2. Have the Places model itself use the XDG environment variables for the paths, which do get updated. Downside of 1 is having to mess with user data Downside of 2 is that if the user customizes the path, that custom path will be serialized into the config and it won't use an XDG envar path anymore, so it will break. I'll move this to System Settings for now to investigate option 1. If that doesn't work, we can investigate doing option 2. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
