Hi all,

This is a simple patch against .trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions growing indefinitly. Mine was almost 500MB and contained stuff from the last decades - so not very useful, but TDE has no way to clean this file.

The patch goes against kdesktop/kdiconview.cpp. It changes the baviour to only save icon positions when the file/directory acually exists on the desktop.

oops ... patch is reverse, this is the correct one

Hi Nik, can you create patch on our Gitea instance? That is preferred way to contribute. Cheers Michele
