I am using Kubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and Arch on my desktop. Both 64-bit. I am not following any symlinks when this happens, so I am not convinced that it's related to symlinks. I have the problem with both Kubuntu and Arch. In Kubuntu 9.10, it starts off working fine but for some reason, something gets out of sync and the problem starts. With Arch, the problem is always there.
For me, here are a few examples of my reproducing this problem in both Arch and Kubuntu: Example 1: 1.) Either set the desktop to a Folder View or include a Folder View on the desktop 2.) Open Firefox 3.) Download a file to the desktop 4.) The download completes 5.) The file is not on the desktop 6.) Right click the desktop and click "refresh" 7.) The file you downloaded now appears Example 2: 1.) Either set the desktop to a Folder View or include a Folder View on the desktop 2.) Find a random file on your desktop 3.) Open Dolphin 4.) Right-click the file chosen on the desktop in step 2, and click "cut" 5.) Go into the Dolphin window and click "Paste" 6.) The file is now moved to the folder you opened in Dolphin 7.) The file is still showing on the desktop 8.) Click on the file on the desktop 9.) It will say the file is not there 10.) Right-click the desktop and click "refresh" 11.) The file disappears Example 3: 1.) Open KTorrent 2.) Open Firefox 3.) Find a torrent to download in Firefox 4.) Send the Firefox open dialogue for the torrent to KTorrent 5.) Choose the desktop as the place KTorrent will save the downloaded torrent to 6.) KTorrent starts downloading the torrent 7.) No files have appeared on the desktop 8.) Right-click the desktop and click "refresh" 9.) The files that KTorrent is downloading now appears on the desktop I deal with this problem in both Kubuntu 9.10 AND Arch with KDE 4.3.3, even after reinstalling my OS completely and/or deleting my .kde and .kde4 folders. This is extremely annoying. I have to babysit my desktop and constantly refresh it manually to see any changes. If I never refresh it, I will never see any changes. -- Dolphin does not refresh current directory for new files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
