Bug 225213 – kde-base/konq-plugins-3.5.9 : Invalid dirfilterplugin.desktop service

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Greisberger Christophe 2008-06-07 12:35:36 UTC]

I was inspecting my .xsession-errors for another reason, and I saw the following lines :
kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file .hidden/dirfilterplugin.desktop has Type=Service but is located under "apps" instead of "services"
kio (KService*): WARNING: Invalid Service : .hidden/dirfilterplugin.desktop

I checked, and it's seems to be indeed in the wrong directory :
$ locate dirfilterplugin.desktop
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqlistview/kpartplugins/dirfilterplugin.desktop
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqiconview/kpartplugins/dirfilterplugin.desktop
/usr/kde/3.5/share/applnk/.hidden/dirfilterplugin.desktop


Reproducible: Always

There is far more of this legacy crap - partly worked around via kde.eclass - to be cleaned up, when looking at the KDE desktop entry mess - even in KDE 4. But, beside the message, this is a non-issue from the user point of view. I'm not even sure right now, if there isn't a special case, where replacing the .hidden/ path with NoDisplay=true in the desktop entry might not work.
