--- Comment #1 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <kosse...@kde.org> ---
The KMarkdownWebView software is released not as part of the KDE Applications
release bundle like Kate, but developed and released on a separate cycle of its
own.
KMarkdownWebView currently provides a KParts plugin and a KIO thumbnail
generator plugin, so is not just targetting Kate, but any software using KParts
infrastructure (e.g. Ark & Krusader) or the KIO thumbnail system.
So while the KMarkdownWebView KParts plugin is useful for some in Kate and its
preview plugin, it is not the only usage combination, bundling KMarkdownWebView
with Kate when it comes to source releases is not needed but would create new
dependencies.
If "to be shipped with Kate" though means coming pre-installed with packages in
Linux distributions, that might make sense. The appstream metadata of
KMarkdownWebView actually recommends itself for Kate and some others. But this
is something to ask the packagers for the respective distribvutions, to add
some kind of "Recommends KMarkdownWebView" to the Kate package or "Recommends
itself for Kate" to the KMarkdownWebView package, so it gets co-installed
automatically.
Same also for the application bundle installer, either AppImage or the ones for
other operating systems, like MS Windows or macOS, this would be a question for
the app bundle creators. If your bug report is actually about that, please
reopen the bug, rename the title to mention the app bundles and move the bug
to, hm..., best to the "General" component, as I could not find where bugs for
Kate app bundles should be filed, the maintainers of the "General" component
bug reports might know and will process it further :)
