Bug ID: 514570
Summary: Additional KWin Desktop Effects do not appear
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.4.5
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
Additional desktop effects downloaded from the "Get New..." button menu do not
appear when downloaded.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In System Settings > Window Management > Desktop Effects, click the "Get
New..." button.
2. From the Download New Desktop Effects window that appears, download a new
effect, such as TV-Effect [Burn-My-Windows] by schneegans for example.
3. Return to the Desktop Effects menu, and see that the downloaded effect is
not there.
OBSERVED RESULT
The downloaded effect is not visible in the Desktop Effects menu. The
downloaded effect has been installed to the computer's KWin folder, in the
"effects" folder. Instead, the downloaded effect is only usable via System
Settings > Animations menu where it's located in the drop down menu instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would like it if the downloaded effects were visible in the Desktop Effects
menu as well. It was very confusing as a first-time user to not have the new
downloaded effects show up in the same location as the other Desktop Effects.
