Insync-dolphin does not work with Plasma 6

Hm, when I remove the icons, they are not displayed, so I keep them in the installation.

I pushed a commit that removes the old files during install, so they should not bother anyone. Also fixed icon not being shown in Dolphin’s preferences.

Eh, that is a bit embarrasing, but the last update actually removed one file that needed to be installed, so it did not work. I now uploaded a fix so the install should work.

I also noted it was crashing when insync was not running or when it was starting and a file was rightclicked - I pushed a fix now.

Hi Drew,

thanks for your work on this!

Tried to compile this on my Fedora 42 installation but since I have zero knowledge about programming and compiling I did not get it to work.

Can you provide a precompiled rpm version on your github page? Considering the time for reactions of the Insync ‘linux team’ I doubt we will see an official version anytime soon.

Thanks in advance
Martin

Hello, I would rather not provide binaries, that sounds like a major headache. Probably you are missing some dependencies, what are the errors you are running into? Compilation instructions can be certainly be improved.

Wait a saga this issue has been.

I am on KDE Plasma

  • Plasma 6.50
  • KDE Framework 6.19.0
  • QT Ver. 6.9.2

As of today, 2025-10-21, the issue with Dolphin’s .deb install still does not show the synced/syncing icon overlay atop of the file icons.

You need to install from my github depository for the time being.

Hmm, which one is your repository? Felagund? Kevin Burns?
