[CLOSED] Icons position

[marwatt]

Hi Erik
all icons scattered across the desktop are now all left aligned from top to bottom...

still ... Image
basically there is a file somewhere that is changed
somewhere in ~/.config/xfce folder

I never use desktop icons so I would not know that.

Is it reported on Xfce4?

I am now assuming that you put icons on your desktop like we would do on Windows.

To the right work related icons/links.
To the left games related icons/links.

Then an update comes in they are all misaligned or scrambled.

Is that correct?

yes... the file are in /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen....

Is it reported on Xfce4?

I don't know... I'll check that.

yes correct.
habits die hard.

before update




after update

[erikdubois]

that is what I thought.

Did you find a post online about it?

Bugs reported?

[marwatt]

yes (in xfce bug report) something similar... but (for what I understand) no solution at this moment in time

[marwatt]

In gitlab.xfce.org says that:
"it should not happen if at least one of the default-icons remains on the desktop"
Let's see...
