File Attributes Overwritten and Desktop Items Invisible after 'dconf update'. #1769

Open danila-Skachedubov opened 4 months ago

danila-Skachedubov commented 4 months ago

Expected behaviour

A method on dbus is provided that implements the functionality of pressing the F5 button for the desktop.

Actual behaviour

  1. Executing the dconf update command results in the overwriting of file attributes.
  2. New files or folders created on the desktop are not visible until the F5 key is pressed.
  3. Pressing the F5 key after executing dconf update reveals previously created folders and files.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Execute the dconf update command.
  2. Create a new file or folder on the desktop.
  3. Observe that the created items are not visible.
  4. Press the F5 key.
  5. After pressing F5, observe that previously created files and folders appear.

Should we expect to see this behavior corrected?

I don't think that is something we can fix from inside MATE, but rather is a dconf issue but I do not know enough about dconf to be sure. Leaving this open at the moment so any other team members can weigh in

danila-Skachedubov commented 1 month ago

Okay, what about adding a dbus interface to the F5 button functionality?

lukefromdc commented 1 month ago

I will have to leave that to others on the team as I don't know enough about dbus to evwn start such a thing

danila-Skachedubov commented 1 month ago

Perhaps we could mention someone from the development team who could assist with this?

lukefromdc commented 1 month ago

I do not know which team members that may be, and remember this is NOT a MATE bug
