Bug ID: 432032
Summary: Check for X-Plasma-StandAloneApp seems to be inverted
while searching for windowed widgets
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Milou
Assignee: alexander.loh...@gmx.de
Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
It seems plasma apps have a property 'X-Plasma-StandAloneApp' in the
metadata.desktop file that decides whether they appear in the krunner search
for Windowed widgets. As of Plasma 5.20.90 (5.21 beta), checking for this
property seems to be inverted, in that apps marked as standalone do not appear
in the krunner search, while apps not marked as standalone do appear in the
search.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open krunner
2. Type 'timer'
3. Clear textbox
4. Type 'trash'
OBSERVED RESULT
The 'org.kde.plasma.timer' widget does not appear in the results after step 2.
But after step 4, the 'org.kde.plasma.trash' applet appears.
EXPECTED RESULT
'org.kde.plasma.timer' -> Should appear in the results (.desktop file has
'X-Plasma-StandAloneApp=true')
'org.kde.plasma.trash' -> should not appear in the results (not marked as
standalone app)
This was the behaviour in 5.20.5, IIRC.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. See bug 345851 where the standalone property is described.
2. I can launch the applets by typing 'plasmawindowed <applet_name>' in the
terminal.
3. It was working properly in Plasma 5.20.5.
4. I wasn't sure whether to report this against krunner or plasmashell, but I
am reporting it here as it appeared immediately after the 5.20.90 update.
5. Manually editing 'org.kde.plasma.timer/metadata.desktop' and removing the
'X-Plasma-StandAloneApp=true' line makes it appear in the krunner search
results.
