Popup Launcher

Plasma 5 Menus by HessiJames 53 comments

In Kubuntu 20.04, upon selecting an item in the popup list, the corresponding *.desktop file is opened in the text editor. To have the widget launch the application, the *.desktop file has to be made executable. Most *.desktop files are in /usr/share/applications and are not all consistently executable. The widget should unconditionally launch the selected application. - Oct 24 2020

Love it! Suggestion for a more compact list – would accomodate more items witout needing to scroll:

- remove the absolute path that is under the name and add it as on-hover text.
- decrease icon size to be ust a little bigger than the font of the name. - Oct 24 2020

Plasma 5 Applets by paju 87 comments

> Im not very fan of the idea on on-hover tips because if i put text on it then i need to have internazionalization and get the messages translated to multiple languagues

That's not a good reason. It's open source, others can add translations.

If the icons come from the chosen icon theme then all the more reason to provide on-hover tips so that the clarity of the buttons' functions doesn't depend on that of the icon themes over which you have no control.

Until the causes of the mishaps I described are clear, I must avoid this widget even though others seem to be using it without problems. - May 04 2019
Plasma Customization Saver

Plasma 5 Applets by paju 87 comments

Please add on-hover tips for the buttons. For instance, in the top right corner there are two buttons with arrows pointing down that are identical except for the colors of the arrows. What are their respective functions?

After I saved a customization, the desktop reverted to the initial default. The customization appeared in the list of saved customizations but selecting it didn't bring back my customized desktop back, and I had to re-customize it.

Following this, I noticed that System Settings -> Icons -> Icon Theme has gone missing. This may not be caused by this widget. I mention it in case it might be -- I haven't had the time to look at the code. - May 04 2019
Simple System Monitor

Plasma 5 Monitoring by KonstantinShtepa 68 comments

Scaling down the image does not help much. There is still a minimum limit for resizing the widget that wastes space and is bigger than I'd like.

Secondly, there needs to be an option to have no logo, which would free up a lot of space, but it would only help if the minimum resize limit is lowered accordingly.

Removing memory/swap info from the widget is not a satisfactory workaround if you want to keep an eye on those resources. - May 03 2019

Thanks.

"Timeout" is misleading in this case. A timeout is usually a waiting period after which a process gives up on an action that does not complete.

The setting in question is the time period between email checks (or connection attempts).

If "Autoexit of connect" is the time to wait for a connection attempt to succeed before considering it a failed attempt, then this setting would be better described as a timeout. - Apr 01 2014

Plasma 4 Extensions by F1ash 123 comments

After adding/editing an account, clicking the OK or Cancel buttons closes the config window. To do further configuration (e.g., add/edit another account or change global settings) one has to reopen the config window, which gets tiresome. Clicking the OK/Cancel button should return the window to the top-level state of the Accounts tab, showing the list of accounts - Mar 31 2014

Plasma 4 Extensions by F1ash 123 comments

I don't see a setting to specify how often an account should be checked for new email. It's not among the settings for an account (where it should ideally be) nor on the global Settings tab.

Is this planned for the future? - Mar 31 2014
