Hi,
I’m not sure if this is really a bug or not.

After a fresh install of Fedora Kinoite 41, there’s no shortcuts in Dolphin file manager.

Here’s a screenshot :

I had the same on a new install in geman.

You mean music, videos, downloads, documents etc?

May be because the folder names are translated and “Downloads” is not?

May want to report at discuss.kde.org

Drag and drop to get shortcuts new stuff on plasma 6.2

I don’t think it’s related to the folder names in other languages, since the same problem occurs in a fresh install of Kinoite in english.

Maybe it’s related to kinoite being immuable ?

Just open dolphin go to home pick folder shortcut and drag it to left panel where you want it no bug no issue

Yes, but why they aren’t there by default like before ?

Well things change minimalist defaults and user can customize and add what they want

I think that is not big issue to just drag and drop stuff how you want

Well, I’m not sure if this is really intentional, since after trying the same in Fedora KDE, all the folders are in the left panel.

I understand that you like minimalist things, but it’s strange that every distro even fedora kde has them, but not fedora kinoite.

Can you open a bug in the KDE SIG issue tracker? Thanks

I’m unsure if this is a “bug” or not. I installed the latest KDE Neon and the default out-of-the-box config for Dolphin only has Home and Trash under places.

If Fedora is historically customizing this, then it’s a bug. But if Fedora is following upstream, it appears that it matches what it should be.

If Fedora is following upstream, then it’s a bug in fedora kde, not in kinoite.

I’ve opened a bug here : Issue #577: Fresh install of Fedora Kinoite has no shortcuts in the left panels (Dolphin) - SIG - Pagure.io

Are you sure the Fedora KDE behavior you’re seeing isn’t due to your configuration being held over from an upgrade? I just installed a fresh KDE Spin F41, and it only shows Home and Trash still.

I think this is upstream KDE change they made

This bothers me too. I’ve done several installs of KDE Everything netinst / Kinoite since F34, and it seems totally random whether the $XDG dirs get created. Like roll a dice random.

Here’s a workaround.

Before first desktop user login from SDDM GUI:

  • Press Ctrl + Alt + F3 ~ F6
  • Sign in virtual console as desktop user
  • Create XDG home dirs
  • $ xdg-user-dirs-update
  • Verify home dirs: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos
  • $ ll
  • Logout of virtual console (Type exit or Ctrl + D)
  • From vitual console, Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 or F2 (X11 or Wayland), or tap Alt + Left Arrow or Alt + Right Arrow until you return to the SDDM login GUI
  • Login from GUI, Press Meta + E, Dolphin should have correct starting XDG home dirs
