Since I emerged and Plasma got upgraded, my configuration isn't
remembered from the previous state, nor does it get saved ...

Then I ran dolphin from the command line, and got an error that REALLY
doesn't make sense!

anthony@thewolery ~/Scans/HP-M477/2024_09_28 $ dolphin . &
[1] 23240
anthony@thewolery ~/Scans/HP-M477/2024_09_28 $ kf.config.core: Created a KConfigGroup on an inaccessible config location "/home/gina/.directory" "Desktop Entry"

[1]+ Done dolphin .

anthony@thewolery ~/Scans/HP-M477/2024_09_28 $ kf.config.core: Created a KConfigGroup on an inaccessible config location "/home/gina/.directory" "Desktop Entry"


You can see I've actually run the command line twice, but the weirdo is,
as you can see from the system prompt I'm logged in as "anthony". So why
oh why is plasma looking in my wife's home directory for config info !!!
How does it even KNOW about my wife's account?

I presume if I fix this, everything else will sort itself out, but this
is just weird.

Cheers,

It's a guess, your 'Frequently Used' Plasma Places/Directories may contain a previous instance of you accessing /home/gina/.directory to store some scanned documents.

Click on the K-menu, at the bottom select 'Places', at the left menu list you'll see 'History' and 'Frequently Used'. If you right click on the right menu list of places/directories, you get an option to forget all or forget the selected directory.

Alternative you could grep for "gina" in your ~/.local/share/recently- used.xbel

anthony@thewolery ~/.local/share $ cat recently-used.xbel | grep gina
<bookmark href="file:///home/gina/Scans/HP-M477" added="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z"
modified="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z"
visited="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z">
anthony@thewolery ~/.local/share $

So there is a reference to file in my wife's home directory, but nested
a good way down. Not in her root ...

And why would it be messing around with the .directory file anyway?
