The script was trying to add was a "dot file", i.e. had a period as the first character in the name. Even though the dialogue didn't object, it either didn't create the item or couldn't see it once it had been created, and the KDE login process couldn't see it either. Once I changed the name, it worked. This means that you can't use (say) a Shell .profile or .bash_login for this function, which is what I was trying to do. Doesn't matter in this case but I'll report it as a bug if I manage to figure out what component to report against. The "executable" button may be another bug. I didn't look into that but just changed the mode on the script manually. Thanks for your help. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
