[Plasma5] Dolphin forgot sometimes my added places
Hello,
yesterday I migrated from KDE Plasma 4 to Plasma 5 on my Arch machine. Most of the Desktop and Tools are working perfectly, but I have a little problem with Dolphin (Qt4 version 14.12.2 from the official Arch repo).
Dolphin doesn't remember the places, which I have added on KDE Plasma 4. And if I added new places under Plasma 5, Dolphin forget sometimes the added places, or the icon is changing or the name is changing.
Can anybody help? It's possible to use the "old" places on Plasma 5, which I have added on KDE Plasma 4?
Thank you!

Ok! Is this a bug? Is it only in the Qt4 version of Dolphin? I haven't testing the Qt5 version of Dolphin yet, but maybe I will do it tomorrow.
For testing, I have installed the LXQt Filemanager "PCManFM-Qt" and I can see all my places, which I have added in Dolphin on KDE Plasma 4.

Re: [Plasma5] Dolphin forgot sometimes my added places
The icon thing has a solution; well ... sort of.
I noticed that if I have an icon called "home.png" and I try to change it for another called "home.png" from another icons collection it will refuse to change the icon, reverting to use the original icon.
If I, however, rename the new icon to say "new_home.png" it will work.
Not a perfect solution but a workaround not too hard to implement.
Hope this will help.
