Dolphin "Create New" context menu is just showing contents of my Home Directory

Help

Hi all,

I’m using Dolphin Version 24.08.2, with Plasma 6.2.1, on Arch Linux.

When I right click in any folder and try to use the “Create New” context, the context menu shows me the whole contents of my home directory.

[solarisfire@solaris-arion servicemenus]$ qtpaths --locate-dirs GenericDataLocation kio/servicemenus
/usr/share/kio/servicemenus

And the contents of /usr/share/kio/servicemenus looks normal.

I tried clearing out $HOME/.config/dolphinrc and that didn’t help.

I’ve tried setting $XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR and launching dolphin, and that didn’t help.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Check /home/meven/.config/user-dirs.dirs
Make sure XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR is not "$HOME/", it should be "$Home/Templates", that’s a distro issue.

You can change the path of the Templates dir, in systemsettings > Session (at the bottom.

My google-foo was not strong enough to find that bug report, but this is fixed now!
