Re: KDE Plasma, Discover Downloads Folder

What do you mean by "downloads folder"? What do you expect to find there?

Re: KDE Plasma, Discover Downloads Folder

Discover itself does not download anything, It is just a GUI wrapper for flatpak. Flatpak is the application doing the actual downloads, and the cache of discover is probably at ~/.cache/discover

Do you mean the folder where the software is stored (/var/lib/flatpak) or the data (~/.var/app/) ? Also note that some naughty apps can use other folders as specified in their permission list.

If you want to change the folders per system/user check (flatpak-installation)
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flat … stallation

You can change the data folder for a specific application/instance by changing the HOME environment variable.

env HOME=/my/specific/folder flatpak run org.appdomain.appname
