Bug ID: 403118
Summary: Installed page is cluttered and dangerous
Product: Discover
Version: 5.14.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Discover's "Installed" page shows an enormous assortment of things in a huge
flat list, which is problematic for a variety of reasons:
1. For many of the Plasma components listed there, trying to remove them will
remove all of Plasma, which is dangerous and is not something we should ever
allow the user to do from Discover
2. It's hard to find actual *apps* so that you can uninstall them, which is the
primary use case of going to the Installed page
3. All the Plasma components that appear there show "Launch" buttons" but
cannot be launched (if you click the button, Discover displays a message saying
"Cannot launch <thing>")
Suggestion: Only show items on this page that either can be launched, or were
installed using Discover (e.g. wallpapers, app addons, Plasma widgets, etc).
This would slim down the list to only what's relevant and remove the ability to
accidentally uninstall Plasma.
