Operating System: Fedora Linux 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.3
Is there a “Refresh” option similar to Windows. Sometimes moving files from my folders to desktop the preview blanks on the file. I tried the right click and there is no “Refresh”. I also tried the good old “F5” and still no refresh. The only way I have been able to fix it was to right click, icons, uncheck and recheck “Show Previews”
any help would be nice. ty
alias nps=‘systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service’
i’ve added this to my
~/.bash_aliases file so can call it with the nps “new plasma shell” command.
you could also add it to a dolphin service menu, but would only work if you right click on a file, as you can’t add service menus to the desktop context menu.
I’ve created a custom keyboard shortcut via System Settings which lets me refresh plasmashell by executing the command plasmashell -–replacewhen I press Super+Backspace.
There are several different commands used for this purpose, including also kquitapp6 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell, which are effectively the same, I guess, but the systemctl one might be the best.
That’s a bug, I think we are aware of it:
file changes in ~/Desktop are not immediately reflected.
trash:/ has the same issue, we need to add a daemon to watch for file changes there.
