Bug ID: 511816
Summary: Make "Always show all entries" better (make it have
Windows-like behavior)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I don't like hiding tray icons in the "^" expander thingy. I want all the
relevant tray icons to be visible.
However, the "Always show all entries" option doesn't work how I expect or how
I want. It shows all icons all the time, even when irrelevant.
For instance, take the "Disks & Devices" tray icon. If I enable "Always show
all entries", then the "Disk & Devices" icon will show up *all the time*, even
when I have no removable device plugged in. I can go into the system tray
settings and choose "Disabled" for "Disks & Devices", but then the icon *never*
shows up, even when I have a removable device plugged in!
What I want is this:
1. No tray icons hidden away in the ^-expander.
2. Tray icons appear only when relevant, i.e. "Disks & Devices" is nowhere to
be seen when no removable devices are plugged in, and appears when a removable
device is plugged in.
This is in fact how the Windows tray works if you set the equivalent settings
to never show the ^-expander thingy, and I'm a little surprised that KDE Plasma
does not work the same way with its setting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter the settings for a system tray.
2. Set "Disks & Devices" to "Shown when relevant" and enable "Always show all
entries".
3. Observe that the icon appears even when no relevant device is plugged in.
4. Set "Disks & Devices" to "Disabled" and enable "Always show all entries".
5. Observe that the icon does not appear even when a relevant device is plugged
in.
OBSERVED RESULT
See point 3 and 5 above.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would want some new combination of settings or something that enables the
observation at point 3 to be that the icon only appears when relevant and is
not hidden in the ^-expander.
Perhaps there could be a new setting like "Show hidden icons in an expandable
menu" that I could disable.
Just to be clear, obviously this is not only about the "Disks & Devices" icon,
but about all (ir)relevant tray icons.
