Where is Plasma Vault?

[acheron]

so plasma-vault got installed today in my Neon-/dev/stable ,,,without me asking for it I mite add .

is seems to work ,,,,I could create a vault put stuff in it ,,,,close the vault ,,,you can go into the folder named as you named the vault ,,but their is nothing in it until you reopen/mount it with the password .

HOWEVER their seems to be no way to remove/delete a vault ?

I forgot the password for the first one ,,,so just deleted it in dolphin,,,,,,but it did not disappear from the widget ,,,,on loging out and back in ,,,their it was in dolphin again ?

Oh... this bug?

See maybe this one already reported:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385444

What is the bug exactly? If you mean the vault being added to the default meta, that was intentional, as people had quite often said so far it should be installed by default

You could report against Neon in bugs.kde.org if you think that is not right.

Or a bug with the vault itself can be reported against the plasma-vault product on bugs.kde.org

that their is no option to remove/delete a vault ...read down!

So did "we" ever figure out how to delete an unwanted vault?

[Bings]

Taken from KDE Forum https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=140740

1. Delete the folder ~/Vaults/Vault_NAME
2. Delete the folder ~/.vaults/Vault_NAME.enc
3. Delete the entry for the vault inside of ~/.config/plasmavaultrc

I'm waiting for that answer myself. I think the feature is coming, IIRC. But simply deleting the files in the ".vaults" directory does not remove the folder from the Vaults application. It just changes the icon to a red one, indicating that the particular vault is broken.

But that's not really a satisfactory answer is it? Just a temporary work-around.

Right. And I don't see the release "fixed" in 5.12 either.

yes ,,,a temporary work around .

the Developer is (supposedly) working on it for a possible release with 18.04 ,,,,or soon thereafter.

it seems he originally did not consider that people may want to remove/test their vaults

nor do I ...

Update on this ,,,,the developer answered me on the plans for this ,,after asking in the bug report.

--- Comment #12 from Ivan Čukić <ivan.cukic@kde.org> ---
It will be a part of the release after the LTS. Didn't want to add new features
in this one - just polish and bug fixes.

so their we go

Did he say how the deletion would be handled? He was most enthusiastic about using the Trash and its undelete feature.

The gov and bad guys always have a key if they want in. It’s called “Brass Knuckles”.

I think he is leaning more toured the approach in comment #3 in the bug report ,,,,,,,IE: having 2 options 1-Dismantel , just removing the entry in the app and leaving the data folders for the user to do with as they please and 2-Full delete , removing the entry from the app and a "permanently" delete all data.

but we will see shortly after the 18.04 goes release.
