Not all, because some settings are respected and some are not.

For example I can align icons on Desktop to the right or to the left and it works ok. Settings that I set in system setting seems to be respected. It looks like only those changed from applets are not and from Dolphin options are not, but not all.

When I set Dolphin Preferences > General > Confirmations and thick the Executing scripts I can run .desktop file (run application) from different Dolphin locations but option in Dolphin remains unmarked.

I unmarked kmix volume feedback, I don't want this feedback to pop-up when I for example watch something. Yet, it still appears but only when I use keyboard shortcut to change volume. When I use slider in kmix the icon doesn't show.

Plasma also can’t remember kmenu settings. For example I change name of entry in kmenu edit, Web browser Firefox to Firefox and save it, still in kmenu is visible Web browser Firefox.

I have Manjaro and the latest updates installed. Plasma 5.13.4

I created new user with home folder and checked default permissions.
I only had one file with different permissions:

Code: Select all

-rwxr-xr-x plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

and I corrected it and restarted system but with no effect.

There have to be some settings files that are responsible for this.

hmmm, sounds like my problem . . .

I've been trying to change my Audio Hardware Setup settings. My soundcard is presently detected as GP107GL High Definition Audio Controller. Front Left and Front Right Speaker Placement & Testing do not work.

Changing the Sound Card to Built-in Audio, I have both Left & Right working as they should. However, after Applying the setting and leave that settings page, the Sound Card reverts to GP107GL. I've tried making this change as User as I normally would. I've also run System Settings as Root and made the change to no effect.

I found some workarounds for my problems.

Name of Firefox has changed in kmenu when I changed it in firefox.desktop file in
/home/user/.local/share/applications/

Right mouse click on file, properties and edit.

For sound volume change I unmarked / unchecked option in system Settings → Workspace behaviour
Display visual feedback for status changes. But this looks like some general setting for whole Plasma.

Maybe it is somehow related.

New bug report:
Plasma 5 doesn't save some settings
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398008

My Plasma also doesn't save qtcurve settings.

Hi, I have the same issue. My plasma-workspace version is 5.13.4-2
And I cannot save settings under Default Applications -> Web Browser.
Issue was not present in previous release.

As David asked in my bug report all issues should be reported separately in appropriate place.

This seems to be the same problem to yours.
