It would be nice to have a way to clear or remove a single bookmark in dolphin with a R click or something as it is now it just opens the bookmark if you left or right click.
You have to go into ~/.local/share/dolphin/bookmarks.xml and remove the lines for the bookmark you want to remove, but this can lead to problems depending on the users skill level. It’s vary easy to remove a line you should not have exit out an have no bookmarks.
An if dyslexic as I am finding where you were is a tall order. Though I always make a duplicate of the file before I change anything. I know many don’t.
I think the ideal solution would be, to have a click on bookmark an click the remove/delete button. and in the settings under “Go” there is a item added to bookmarks that opens a box. That like on any browser lets you remove what you don’t want in mass.
Hi - looking at this actually taught me that there is a “Bookmarks” feature in Dolphin that’s separate from the “Places” panel…I never realized that!
In looking at that feature, it does appear that there’s a graphical method to edit or remove bookmarks, that doesn’t require having to manually edit a text file, by going to the Go menu > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks:
Hmm, I don’t think it’s that as I’m on Plasma 6.2.4 as you are - although in this case the Dolphin version would matter a lot as well (I’m on 24.08.3 currently, as 24.12 is making its way through the Fedora update process):
Is the only system you’re working on a NixOS 25.05 (presumably pre-release) system? I’m asking as I’d suspect some packaging issue here that’s not installing the Bookmark Manager along with Dolphin - it is actually a separate binary, keditbookmarks.
It might be worth checking to see if that binary is being packaged up / required for installation by NixOS?
This on the latest plasma - search both sides Mine’s under CURRENT actions, I have a pencil icon for that.
I use Bookmarks for many obscure folders - plasma colour schemes, stuff like that… Places is best reserved for the main locations.
On top of these, I would also suggest for anyone who hasn’t already…

In Dolphin, I can hit F4 (Terminal) and type z conf to go straight to my ~/.config folder… or I can browse (fuzzy) using ‘zi tv’ to get a list of all directories with that text:
Whichever I select is then mirrored in the dolphin tab on display.
Just a reminder that there are more than a couple of dozen ways to skin a cat on a plasma desktop
Yeah i use it for the weird stuff as well /etc/nixos, kvantum themes, fish an kitty configs, wireplumber for pipewire, just anywhere i go to often. or often forget ha.
I do hope if possible a R click context option is added one day. But after finding out since I didn’t add pkgs.kdePackages.keditbookmark to my nix config it wasn’t there at all. avter adding it the edit menu is there an that’s more then good enough.
Normally in terminal I use superfile TUI an good old emacs or nano as the editor to do most things. Though moving more to zed since I finally got it to have a titlebar as I personally like.
But since I install kde for family and friends some who are disabled. I always look for the easy gui way as that’s what they are used to or can handle.
Glad that’s working! For what it’s worth, I don’t know how NixOS / nixpkgs works entirely, but that seems like a missing dependency for Dolphin in how it’s packaged there?
As far as i can tell, (not skilled in nix either haha) Anything thats an optional is its own pkg. most normal things come with just turning plasma on. But there are outliers Ive seen like flatpak permissions kcm and more. I hadn’t had to add anything in some time so I completely forgot. But a copy paste from https://search.nixos.org into the config an one terminal command and its right where it should be.
I’ve only been a nix user for about 2 1/2 months so I’m learning as I go. I don’t think ill ever be able to go back to arch or anything else though. haha
i’m on kubuntu 24.10 and this package is installed but appears to be a plasma 5 package 23.08.5-0ubuntu4 and i do not see the bookmark editor in ether dolphin or kate (under the Go menu).
should i make a bug report to the kubuntu folks or do you think they already know there is more plasam5 → plasma 6 work left on their plate.
Add this an it can be hidden when you don’t need it an added when you do. an you can remove the ham menu if you don’t like it.
Or it can be kept as is it come down to preference.
Mine’s under CURRENT actions, I have a pencil icon for that.
