Hi everyone,

I'm having a persistent issue with Dolphin on KDE Plasma. Every time I reboot my PC, all my folder customizations (custom icons and folder colors set to yellow) disappear and revert to the default theme colors.

The details:

* The weird part: If I right-click on a folder that should be yellow, it suddenly "wakes up" and changes to the correct color/icon immediately.

* The .directory file is correct: I’ve checked the hidden .directory files inside the folders, and they correctly show Icon=folder-yellow. The configuration is being saved, but Dolphin/Plasma isn't reading it on startup.

* Environment: My filesystem is Linux-native (Ext4/Btrfs), so it's not a partition compatibility issue.

* No Baloo: I am not using Baloo (file indexer) on my system.

* What I've tried:

* Enabling "Remember display properties for each folder" in Dolphin settings.

* Clearing icon-cache.kcache and running kbuildsycoca5/6.

* Disabling folder previews.

* Changing icon themes (Breeze, etc.).

It seems like Plasma is loading a cached version of the UI on boot and ignoring the .directory files until I manually interact with the folders.

Does anyone know how to force Dolphin to respect these customizations on startup without having to right-click everything?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've recently had a pretty serious problem. Sometimes my PC shuts down as if the power went out. I know it's not the house's power supply because my brother's PC doesn't have the same problem, and it's definitely not the components. So, to confirm what I least wanted to know, I installed Windows 11, and sure enough, the problem was solved. I want to keep using Cachy, but I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas? I've been researching this for a long time and haven't found anything. I tried another distros btw, but the issue still happening
